pillar 1 committed residents widely supported public involvement Eigen Haard has opted to involve residents throughout the renovation process, from the planning stages onward. In addition to the Residents’ Committee as a formal point of contact, Eigen Haard initiated entirely new forms of participation, with residents approached to contribute as advisers. That way, target groups that are otherwise often rather neglected, such as (ethnic minority) women and children, were also involved from an early stage. They have provided valuable information and, as an added bonus, have established new relationships with their neighbours.
