Samenvatting

This project is focusing onto the 50's district Bilgaard, one of the most disadvantaged districts of Leeuwarden. Major issues in this district are low income housing, social problems and the poor level of collectivity and participation of current residents. LDW 2018, Leeuwarden European Cultural Capital 2018, is an opportunity for the transformation of this district, if inhabitants are enabled to gain by hospitality services. There will be granted more space for residents to develop into entrepreneurs and experiment with their current homes. More freedom is put in the current homes in order to develop the interiors, extra floor levels, facades, backyards and streets. A strategy with a set of rules will enhance the transformation.
