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 Woonstichting 'thuis 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.
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.
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.
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 Livable Neighborhoods
Outline the perspective for livable neighborhoods in 2030-2040-2050.
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.
Sustainable mobility and logistics
There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the city center
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and the transport of goods. It should become easier to choose bicycles, public transport, or shared cars in our (inner) cities. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as green areas and recreation.
