Wealthy in industrial heritage, Eindhoven, in cooperation with builders and
private enterprise, has established a system of revitalisation of industrial
heritage areas to increase city attractiveness. These resources have allowed
the city to implement community building and identity building among citizens
in the NRE-area, where the former gasworks of Eindhoven were located. The
redevelopment of this area is now managed in an organic way, with as little
legislation as possible, and in strong cooperation with residents.
