Looking back on Provada 2022 | VanWonen inspires as an area developer

News item, Area and Property Development

Provada 2022 is behind us. With a new exhibition stand and a substantive three-day programme, we were more visible than ever. Let’s look back at the highlights.


Panel discussion led by Sander Schimmelpenninck
The first day of the fair started with a panel discussion on area development under NAP. Panel guests Adriaan Geuze, Friso de Zeeuw, Jeannette Nijkamp, and Alfred Bolks gave their views, with Sander Schimmelpenninck hosting the discussion. How can we make healthy choices for future generations? With rising sea levels, is it responsible to build in areas below NAP? The discussion yielded interesting perspectives and concrete and pragmatic solutions. This topical theme with expert speakers attracted many visitors and resulted in a full stand.

Healthiest generations reinforced
The partnership for the healthiest generations was reinforced with three partners: Dutch Green Building Council, Gezondheidsfondsen voor Rookvrij (Dutch movement to create a smoke-free generation), and the professor in Healthy Cities at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. At the VanWonen stand, a discussion was held about the joint contribution to a healthy living environment. 
Miranda Venekamp-Brandt, VanWonen Director of Marketing, Sales & Rental Operations, explains: “As an area developer, we are fully committed to working towards the healthiest generations. Because of our key role in the physical domain, we can make it happen. We are working on this together with our partners and in consultation with residents, so that all generations can live smoke-free, and children can grow up and play in a healthy environment.”

Area development in the province of Overijssel
With Evelien Bosch as their host, André ten Vergert (VanWonen), Gerdien Rots (municipality of Zwolle), Gerard Gerrits (municipality of Hengelo), Monique van Haaf (Province of Overijssel), and Corine Flendrie - van der Schoot (Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations) discussed ‘Innovative area development in Overijssel’. Where collaboration leads to connection and acceleration. “This is a good example of integrated area development: together with the municipality, province and market parties, we have started to work in a transparent way on projects such as Spoorzone in Zwolle and Lange Wemen in Hengelo,” says VanWonen Director André ten Vergert.

Meet & Greet with professionals from the field
Students were given the opportunity to learn everything about VanWonen’s ambitions, and how these ambitions translate to the different jobs at VanWonen. With stand-up demos and personal stories, students learnt about the work of project developers, sales managers, and customer managers.

VanWonen is very pleased to be working with these partners, which will ensure the smooth development and completion of the construction projects.
