What is the goal of the project?
Gaasperdam is moving towards a process of innovative urban renewal. Bottom-up, using their energy of residents and the qualities already available in the area. Local people’s energy is an available commodity; residents have declared that they are aware of their local environment and want to work towards a better living space for the community.
A package of services is developed with the help of residents, for their benefit, concerning more comfort, high-speed internet, insights in energy consumption and lower energy costs. In short, a modernisation of local people’s living space, without extra costs.
Cooperation is key in ‘Smart Living in Gaasperdam’. By cooperating, energy is created in several fields of interest:
- By popular demand: the developent of novel services for residents, together with residents and companies
- Residents become aware and are taking the director’s seat
- The area will become more attractive
- Reduction of CO2
- The development of new profit models
The project is currently undergoing a feasability study. A consortium has been formed with different partners. They are exploring if and how the proposition can be extended to other partners. Also, the participation process has had its kick-off.
In the near future, the participating companies will formulate a joint proposal and an action plan. The participation of residents will result in a community, that will function as a sounding board for the project’s many phases. Together with this community, the companies will start developing products and services
