Urban problems

In the cities there are a number of problems that have received more attention since the 1980s..

Think of:

- Dilapidation

- Low livability / feelings of

insecurity

Dilapidation

What could you do about this problem?

Do you ever feel unsafe in your neighbourhood?

Urban Renewal; 

Stadsvernieuwing
