General information
The project explores how new approaches to active land policy can be used to create additional affordable housing within the existing building stock without requiring further land. For this purpose, new, practical combinations of various instruments of active municipal land policy are to be developed and tested in practice. These should also be transferable to other towns and local authorities.
