Abstract

The case with the housing crisis is that there is not only a lack of housing, but most annual new residents for the housing in The Netherlands are migrants. This comes from the fact that almost all annual increase in population in the Netherlands are migrants. Within the urban densification theme, these migrants will mainly be housed and integrated in the existing neighborhoods in densely urban areas. However, these neighborhoods and housing are currently not designed for this target group. This affects the social integration and the feeling of being at home for these migrants, which adversely affects the livability of neighborhoods for other target groups. Therefore this study examined the social and functional aspects that stimulate social integration. This revealed several architectural and urban design ingredients that stimulate the social integration, such as a communal living room with a shared kitchen, which can be used as activity spaces, collective gardens, social galleries and loggias.
