We will not achieve the goals of the climate mission by just involving citizens in the change. It is important to make the positive side visible and tangible, and to ensure that everyone can participate. The Living Lab 040 therefore has a citizen think tank. Our ambition is to bridge the gap between citizens and professionals, as well as solutions. In the think tank, a group of engaged citizens (from both within and outside Eindhoven) participates, who want to actively think about the challenges in their city of tomorrow. They have a voice here, are involved in innovations, and can even live in the testing ground. We want to activate all knowledge through the citizen think tank to bring the sustainability task closer to the citizens, by organizing various events and small-scale projects within and outside the Living Lab. We can also use this tool to gauge adoption and resistance to innovation.

How can we involve residents and entrepreneurs in the coming years in the transition to a sustainable and healthy city?

Stam + De Koning wants to apply more environmental psychology in projects: what effect does the physical (built) living environment have on humans? For example, the positive effects of greenery and wood. But also how people deal with sustainable measures.

This website will be the Climate Neutral Action Platform!

Why is it not possible to enjoy a street where you meet neighbors, children play outside, and you are surrounded by greenery even on the 5th floor? With this project, we are developing an alternative to the commonly used apartment building, allowing us to achieve high densities in a qualitative manner. A structure (exo-skeleton) creates a winding path upward, adjacent to plateaus (elevated ground level), on which residences and communal facilities are built. Affordable, inclusive, with nature, temporary and permanent. An initiative by LL040, open to innovative parties to join.
