Making social impact within heritage renewal processes

Heritage Renewal BV is a redevelopment company specializing in making social impact with the redevelopment of monumental buildings and sites.

In our projects, we focus not only on high-quality craftsmanship, sustainability, planning, and the economical feasibility, but mostly, we are motivated to give these places new meanings and improve the quality of life of residents, users, and heritage communities involved.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

  • Research: At the moment, we are executing a PhD research to understand the mechanisms through which heritage can positively impact communities. We share the outcomes open source.
  • Redevelopment: At the same time, we are executing what we learn within redevelopment projects in practice.
  • Advice: Furthermore, we guide clients in making (social) impact in their heritage renewal processes as well.

Always in for a cup of coffee!

Make social impact with your heritage sites!

Let’s say its our moral commitment to social justice to make heritage sites accessible again for the broad public.

Heritage sites form a collective memory.
Through a shared past, people feel connected to each other. The collective memory plays a fundamental role in the formation of cohesion and cultural solidarity, something we cleary need at the moment.
In addition, heritage has great significance for individual citizens.

Heritage is intergenerational, highly valuable for society and should therefore be available to the
widest possible group of people.  

Heritage sites can effectively serve as “third places”, which are informal public meeting places that are separate from home (“first place”) and work (“second place”). These locations promote social interaction and community engagement, which positively contributes to social cohesion and individual well-being.

Let’s make sure that heritage stays accessible for everyone in the future!
