Om beter zicht te krijgen op de aard en omvang van dak- en thuisloosheid voerde Hogeschool Utrecht in samenwerking met Kansfonds in 2025 voor de derde keer de ETHOS-telling uit. Hierbij werd gebruik gemaakt van een voor Nederland relatief nieuwe definitie van dakloosheid, de ETHOS-Light classificatie, en van een nieuwe telmethode. Dit rapport bevat de resultaten van de telling die plaatsvond op 10 april 2025 in regio Maassluis, Vlaardingen en Schiedam. De telling is uitgevoerd in nauwe samenwerking met de gemeenten die onderdeel uitmaken van deze regio: gemeenten Maassluis, Vlaardingen en Schiedam.

from the article: Abstract Based on a review of recent literature, this paper addresses the question of how urban planners can steer urban environmental quality, given the fact that it is multidimensional in character, is assessed largely in subjective terms and varies across time. The paper explores three questions that are at the core of planning and designing cities: ‘quality of what?’, ‘quality for whom?’ and ‘quality at what time?’ and illustrates the dilemmas that urban planners face in answering these questions. The three questions provide a novel framework that offers urban planners perspectives for action in finding their way out of the dilemmas identified. Rather than further detailing the exact nature of urban quality, these perspectives call for an approach to urban planning that is integrated, participative and adaptive. ; ; sustainable urban development; trade-offs; quality dimensions

The shallow subsurface in historic cities often contains extensive archaeological remains, also known as cultural deposits. Preservation conditions for naturally degradable archaeological remains are strongly dependent on the presence or absence of groundwater. One of the main goals at such heritage sites is to establish a stable hydrological environment. Green infrastructural solutions such as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) can support preservation of cultural deposits. Several cases show that implementation of SUDS can be cost effective at preservation of cultural deposits. These include Motte of Montferland, City mound of Vlaardingen, Weiwerd in Delfzijl, and the Leidse Rijn area. In all cases, the amount of underground infrastructure is minimised to prevent damaging cultural layers. SUDS have been implemented to preserve cultural heritage. The first monitoring results and evaluation of the processes give valuable lessons learned, transnational knowledge exchange is an important element to bring the experiences across boundaries.
