Values & Key Ideas

Strategic Questions

As the area densifies and develops,

how can we give voice to ecological

stakeholders?

How can we encourage new

development while protecting existing

local businesses and identity?

How can we make this district water-resilient without being against

natural processes?

Standing alongside dunes that have long mediated land and sea, by 2040, Scheveningen will be a vibrant district known for varied landscapes that co-exist with active public life and a strong local economy.
