SUPERCIRCULAR Urban Innovative Actions project proposal – Towards Europe’s first Circular Estate

The books of neighbours, or, in Dutch, “burenboeken” are two complementary publications of stakeholders’ experiences, memories and attitudes about the apartment blocks. The first book includes memoires of former inhabitants, and was compiled with the cooperation of the last remaining residents and residents that already moved out of the flats, together providing a view from within the flats. To provide a full perspective, a second book was created, that includes the view from neighbors surrounding the high-rise flats. The latter group of stakeholders for whom the flats were just as embedded in everyday life as for the former residents. Both books of neighbours consist of photographs of a range of perspectives from within and outside the high-rise apartment blocks, together forming a 360 degree view upon the apartment blocks. In the future HEEMwonen aims to compile a third book, consisting the perspective of the new residents of the SUPERLOCAL housing.
