Property market and the crisis The crisis has led to a new approach on property development in the Spoorzone and a new plan for the area development. Old approach:  project developers search interested buyers for their plans New approach:  interested buyers are contacted and plans are made according to their needs or wishes  Project organisation is the link between buyers and developers  possibilities for private building development or (small) collective development with aid from the project organisation New plan for the property development by Palmbout urban landscapes 10 september 2014 19

3 neighborhoods

Environmental goals The goals for Delft:  investing in a green, attractive and sustainable living environment  Delft as a green oasis between the cities Rotterdam and The Hague  Covenant of Mayors  50% CO2 reduction in 2030  energy-neutral in 2050  focus on energy efficiency in existing housing stock Mecine presentations “Delft, Energy - neutral in 2050”, Roskilde June 2012 and “Sustainable regeneration of urban areas”, Delft November 2012) 10 september 2014 22

Environmental goals The goals for Spoorzone:  Spoorzone as an example for sustainable building in the Netherlands and abroad  an area with room for water and green spaces  maximum reduction of water use  maximum use of renewable energy  Breeam-NL score excellent for the development area 10 september 2014 23

Horizon 2020 Possible proposal Spoorzone:  new sanitation Closed circuits lead to a sustainable use of resources and energy. The development of new sanitation aims to reduce waste water, collect waste streams separately and purify waste water decentralized in the area.  geothermal heat distribution An innovative system for collective use of thermal earth heat from the TU area. Low temperature heating systems with use of floor heating  house of sustainable mobility Proposal in May 2014 10 september 2014 24

House of sustainable mobility Aims house of sustainable mobility:  CO2 reduction  attractive and sustainable living environment  providing transportation for new residents of the Spoorzone  providing transportation for commuters and tourists  improving modality switch  reduction of car ownership for the new residents of the Spoorzone  reduction of parking space in the Spoorzone 10 september 2014 25

House of sustainable mobility The office is a mediator in:  availability  accessibility  alternative means of transport  innovative transport technologies  mobility management solutions (individual and collective)  carpooling The office collaborates with:  mobility institutes (i.e. TU Delft)  city of Delft  rental companies  car sharing companies 10 september 2014 26

House of sustainable mobility The office provides:  bicycle rental (regular and electric bikes)  transport bikes  electric scooters  segways  e-cars (rental and car sharing) for every occasion  a family car for the weekend or holidays  a car to go to work  a car for moving furniture  a car for your marriage or other special occasion CO2-reduction:  solar energy to charge  less cars in the new neighborhood (ownership is less important) 10 september 2014 27
