A lot is happening in and around the neighborhoods of Selwerd, Paddepoel, and Tuinwijk (SPT). This area analysis aims to provide an overview of the many dynamic developments and investigate whether there is cohesion between different interventions. By approaching from the perspective of public space, the analysis focuses on improving livability through an integrated approach that encompasses both physical and social aspects. Given the impending budget cuts in 2026, it is important to have a well-founded and integrated story about municipal real estate and its efficient use in the interest of residents.
