Due to the open manner of design, a wealth of applied ideas for sustainability is forming. Self-constructors are willing to take more risks and apply interesting, though not broadly used techniques. As a result, a broad spectrum of applications is arising, of which some may be less successful, but others may become the standards of the future. In terms of circularity, this leads to a resilient type of urbanity. 2015 2010

The self-builders are very focussed on their own residence. After stating its tender criteria, the municipality has the idea that she has reached its sustainability ambitions. Following this, little time is spent thinking about the circular design of the public spaces. During the construction phase, the public space primarily functions as a storage space. There are initiatives in the public space, which could expand in the future.

Specific conclusions

Considering the fact that hardly anyone is already living on the self-construction plots and there is currently no coherent monitoring plan, it is difficult to evaluate the specific sustainability performances. It is clear, however, that due to the broad spectrum of applied building methods, materials and technologies, the highest circular performances are not achieved everywhere.
