With the regeneration process of the neighbourhood, Vestia has put an emphasis on a social approach of the renewal development. In the development of the neighbourhood vision, together with the sub-municipality Feijenoord, the aim was to incorporate the residents’ voice in the renewal developments. We will return to this in the next paragraph on the planning hierarchy.
islaa
Vestia aims to use the financial benefits of this plan to upgrade some of the existing buildings in the neighbourhood of Afrikaanderwijk. The housing corporation has a high stake in the renewal of this neighbourhood, since they own more than eighty percent of the housing stock in the neighbourhood.
hthu
The empty area is given to the housing corporation Vestia by the municipality of Rotterdam. Vestia is one of the largest housing corporations in the Netherlands. The foundation rents out approximately 89,000 homes and 8,000 other rental units, such as shops and business premises. Their property is spread throughout the Netherlands, with a concentration in the province of South Holland. The housing corporation is headquartered in Rotterdam.
d
Rec
Currently there is a proposal for the urban regeneration of Afrikaanderwijk and the development of the empty piece of land on the border of this neighbourbood. The goal for the development of this land is to keep existing and attract new high and middle income groups to the South of Rotterdam. By constructing private housing and rent apartments in the highest price sector this goal is aimed to be achieved.
