In this episode, I’m joined by Guus Frenay, a social developer at Haag Wonen, who brings a unique inside perspective on placemaking within housing corporations. With a background in human and urban geography, Guus shares how he blends social and physical development to build inclusive, thriving neighborhoods.
We explore his work—from transforming inner gardens into shared spaces to launching tiny house projects for formerly homeless residents—showing how small, strategic actions can spark lasting change.
If you're interested in placemaking, housing, or community-driven urban development, this episode offers fresh insights and practical inspiration.
