A detached house in a green residential allotment remains by far the Fleming’s most popular residential dream. Yet the allotment is subject to considerable criticism: housing density is too low, energy consumption too high and car dependence too high. This book tries to initiate change and, together with residents, policymakers and designers, searches for new future visions for the Flemish parcelling of land. In themselves, these future visions are not spectacular. What is special, however, is that these initiatives were developed and supported by residents who until then were only concerned about the maintenance of their own gardens.

The publication offers inspiration to architects, policymakers and residents to break through the monotony of the allotments and give them a new and more sustainable future through modest interventions and initiatives.

This book is only available in Dutch.
