Utrecht Science Park takes a step towards greater liveability with the help of Community Builders
To improve the quality of life and social cohesion at Utrecht Science Park, residents and partners are launching the “Springlevend Utrecht Science Park” program, which will recruit Community Builders from among apartment residents. The Community Builders will promote connection, participation, and neighborhood development. They will do this, in part, by establishing and managing a local meeting space. The housing boards at Utrecht Science Park took an important first step in this direction in May of last year, and this is now being followed up.
