Description
Volunteers help residents green their gardens, making the immediate living environment more resilient to climate change and climate-adaptive. This is still just an idea and is not yet being implemented. The current setup of the project has existed for 6 years and provides status holders a place to integrate and participate by maintaining the gardens of vulnerable residents, allowing them to live independently for a longer time.

Description
Circle City Eindhoven is a collaboration in the construction sector between the municipality, housing corporations, developers, builders, advisors, and designers. The parties signed the covenant 'Regional Circular Construction Strategy Eindhoven' in 2023. It was agreed that the organizations will apply The New Normal and submit two projects for evaluation with The New Normal. In 2024, we will work with Circle City Eindhoven on topics 1) circular renovation, 2) materials & designs, and 3) circularity & finance. Here, we will contribute knowledge, seek barriers as well as opportunities, and share relevant project experiences.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of Woonbedrijf are committed to the following mission pathways:
(De)velopment of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials in the neighborhoods
In redevelopments and renovations in our neighborhoods, we will ensure that this is carried out in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral manner.
(Forward) development of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials
The city centers of Helmond and Eindhoven have a significant urbanization challenge. All new homes that we add will be built in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral way.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Everyone can participate.
Sustainable solutions must be affordable and available to everyone, regardless of one’s place of residence, background, or income.
Local is the norm.
Many of the products we use daily come from afar. This not only leads to significant CO₂ emissions due to transport, but it is also vulnerable. By producing products locally, less transport is needed. We become less dependent and more self-sufficient.
Regional raw materials market
To prevent new raw materials from being used in construction and industry, a circular raw materials bank can provide a solution. Here, reusable materials are registered and made available.
Scaling up the new normal in the neighborhoods
Homes need to be quickly made more sustainable so that living costs less water and energy; at the same time, living in well-insulated homes is much more pleasant. To speed things up, we will need to renovate and make existing rental and owned homes more sustainable in a collective manner, relieving the residents of burdens.
Sustainability of public space in the neighborhoods
We prioritize the quality of public spaces in our neighborhoods. For this, sustainability, water, and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in meeting and recreation. It is essential for, among other things, combating heat stress and water nuisance.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
