NEIGHBOURHOOD REGENERATION?





This neighbourhood regeneration-process seems rather dubious. Are the new appartments really an improvement?

The problem is that the old appartments- that are actually bigger- have rather small bathrooms and kitchens, and they are rather noisy. The minimal ceiling-height makes it impossible to deal with these problems by implementing new sound-insulation on floor or ceiling.

Had this problem not dominated, the easiest and proably cheapest and most sustainable solution would have been to redesign the floorplans instead of demolition.

IN PROGRESS
