Wanted: space for one million new homes in the Netherlands
- The government wants to build a million homes to solve the housing shortage.
- Parties are coming up with plans for new cities, building on the Media Park or the Tata Steel site.
- The Spatial Planning Memorandum, expected on Friday, should provide guidance on where and how housing construction can take place.
In the Netherlands, one of Europe's most densely populated countries, the search is on for the scarce space to build an additional million homes. The Spatial Planning Memorandum, presented by the caretaker cabinet on Friday, should help solve this puzzle.
