Municipal policy and housing
Each municipality has its own approach to housing and integration. Werckpost proactively collaborates with municipalities to find the right balance between the interests of businesses, workers, and the local population.
Example: Municipality of Noordoostpolder
The municipality of Noordoostpolder has outlined its approach to housing and integration in its spatial vision and socio-economic agenda. The focus is on:
- Future-proof housing development: Housing must meet the needs of temporary workers without disrupting the local housing market;
- Spatial planning: New housing locations are carefully chosen to preserve the rural character and natural values of the area;
- Participation and collaboration: Under the Environment and Planning Act, there is a strong focus on consultation with citizens, businesses, and stakeholders to build broad support.

Through strategic research, tailor-made solutions, and transparent communication, we develop housing projects that contribute to a balanced and connected society.
