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.

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.

Did you know that even if you exercise enough, play sports, and eat healthily, living in the city can be unhealthy? This is related to the quality of the outdoor air we breathe. Therefore, in the Living LAB 040, we investigate how to create residential neighborhoods with healthy air bubbles by experimenting with outdoor air purification based on available technology. Our ambition is to reduce lung diseases, develop a healthy air design methodology for cities, optimize the technology, generate evidence, and translate insights into physical products and guidelines (product development).

The implementation of the Mobility Vision requires collaboration with other disciplines and partners in the fields of redesign, public space, behavior influence, regulation and enforcement, monitoring and adjustment, and financing. This necessitates a working method and organization that ensures cohesion and progress over the years to prevent the emergence of "disconnected" projects that do not complement each other. Therefore, the implementation of the vision will utilize a Multi-Year Implementation Program for Mobility Transition (MUM), which will be managed by a fixed internal coordination team. The precise description of the responsibilities of this team will be further developed immediately after the vision is finalized.

We at Stam+ de Koning Bouw would like to reduce and separate waste. However, we often encounter the issue that there is not enough space on the construction site, resulting in a large amount of waste going into the residual waste container. This makes it more difficult to recycle the waste.

As Enpuls, we would like to get started with the mission path of energy & smart grids. However, we do not yet have a concrete project for this.

An optimal flow and accessibility of the Brainport region. That is the goal of Brainport Bereikbaar. Facilitating and stimulating mobility solutions that are faster, cleaner, and healthier.
