description
Jaqueline Tellinga, District Manager Homeruskwartier, Almere, Almere is a Dutch new town developed from the 1970s on reclaimed land. Since 2006, the site has been home to an innovative experiment in large-scale self build on a 100-hectare site owned and masterplanned by the local authority. Some 3,000 self-built homes will be built. The site is not sought-after but has good access and transport links, making it viable. Jaqcueline suggested that a strong vision and political support, combined with an extremely clear, non-complex approach to design codes, regulation and governance from the local authority has been key to the project’s popularity. The site has been successfully developed in a remarkably short time. Its key feature is the effective partnerships and clear communication between the public authority and the people who are creating their own homes and community
