Transnational Housing Atlas

Since 2008 9 European regions, in 5 countries, in the North Sea Region are working together to cope with the consequences of demographic change. A declining population, an ageing society, migration of young people: these trends have effects on the labour market, on service and on housing.

To give an impression of the different ways regions react on demographic change in relation to housing and building DC NOISE has developed a website (www.housing-atlas.eu) to show and share projects and experiments which are innovative, future-oriented and present sometimes unusual solutions for the new challenges.

All 9 DC NOISE partners selected a best practice from their region and these have been put together into this colourful booklet. This “transnational housing atlas” provides a compilation of innovative approaches in housing reflecting the changed demographic situation, presenting the North Sea Region as an attractive place to live in. The ideas and approaches in the atlas can be used as a source of inspiration, also for other regions in Europe.

The DC NOISE partners hope you will find the atlas inspiring, useful and informative and that you feel encouraged to visit the website www.housing-atlas.eu as well. The website is continuously updated with new projects.
You are invited to send your own contribution!

On behalf of all project DC NOISE partners I wish you lots of pleasure reading the transnational housing atlas!
