The construction of 273,000 new homes across the Netherlands takes a major step forward today thanks to the national contribution to municipal projects announced by outgoing ministers Tieman (Infrastructure and Water Management), Keijzer (Housing and Spatial Planning), and State Secretary Aartsen (Infrastructure and Water Management). The cabinet is investing €2.5 billion in roads, bike paths, tunnels, and tram lines to improve accessibility to new residential areas. Additionally, €877 million is allocated for necessary area-specific measures such as soil remediation, water and soil management, and solutions for network congestion. This supports the realization of 128,000 homes by 2035.
