Veennet – network of initiatives
Project Veennet
– network of initiatives one of the winners in the prestige Eo Wijers
competition.
Eo Wijers foundation organizes competitions
every few years aiming to solve regional planning and landscape design issues
in the Netherlands. In 2012 teams were
asked to design strategies how to deal with population shrinkage in peripheral,
on agriculture based areas in the north of the country.
Veennet
– network of initiatives is a platform that involves
residents, companies and authorities to collaborate and achieve common goal: to
create a vital, sustainable and robust region. The initiatives started on the
platform focus on four main principles, four networks: social network,
infrastructure network, energy network and water/landscape network.
Social network
– provide daily facilities close to residents, focus on high quality primary
education, and create lively local public spaces.
Infrastructure
network – improve public transport connections,
expand school busses, create networks of
bicycle routes. Cycling paths with small pocket parks cross agriculture fields
offer safe and scenic connections between towns and villages.
Energy
network – region produces all energy it needs. By
smart grids and micro-grids energy is efficiently managed and sold to other
regions. Using renewable resources most remote communities can stay energy
independent.
Water
and landscape network – smart water and agriculture
management plays key a role in regions economy and independency. Sustainable
management of water ensures drinking water supply for the region, and increase
agriculture production. Using cycles in crop growing creates diversity
in food production and image of the landscapes. Collaboration between the
farmers create public spaces, cycling routes and open parks to see and enjoy
this open Dutch countryside.
The prize winning strategy Veennet describes the consequences of
the autonomous development of the shrinkage-area of the former peat-colonies.
The project shows how initiatives to improve public spaces, landscapes,
connections and facilities can change image of the whole region.
