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.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of LEV Groep are committed to the following mission pathways:
Circular city center and sustainable consumption
In our cities, there are many opportunities for a circular economy. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on reusing as much as possible.
Circular neighborhoods and sustainable consumption
There are also many opportunities for a circular economy in our neighborhoods. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on as much reuse and sharing concepts as possible.
Climate jobs
For the transition to a sustainable economy, people are needed with new knowledge and skills. This applies to construction, the energy transition, and the greening of existing homes. This requires appropriate training programs, both in vocational and scientific education. There are also pathways needed to retrain people or to impart knowledge about sustainability.
Everyone can participate.
Sustainable solutions must be affordable and available to everyone, regardless of one’s place of residence, background, or income.
Healthy green working environment
In industrial areas, the risk of waterlogging and heat is often high due to the lack of greenery and the extensive hard surfaces. Damage and nuisance from climate change in industrial areas can be mitigated by designing them to be green and shaded. This makes industrial areas more climate-resilient and improves the quality of the living and working environment.
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.

Story of Vital City Centre
Outline the perspective for a vibrant city center in 2030-2040-2050.
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.
