In Tilburg the available space is under pressure; Business parks are practically full, while SMEs and logistics are looking for space to extend. At the same time, climate adaptation, energy transition and circular economy also require additional space. These challenges ask for a transition from a logistics hotspot to a high-quality business ecosystem.

Together with Vereniging Deltametropool, we are building on the previous research ‘Duurzaam Distributielandschap’, in which ways to intensify existing industrial estates were already explored. We are developing a set of tools with spatial solutions for the municipality of Tilburg, to be applied at the terrains of Loven by means of an area manifest.
