CREATE MOMENTUMFOR Collective Change

Ecosystem for iterative innovation in regenerative urban design.

ABOUT

Building The New is an ecosystem which aims to attract talent, investors, developers and policy makers with innovative ideas and ambitions that align with a new and holistic form of regenerative urban development. We believe that global transformation on this level can be achieved when people, policy makers and corporations think and act on the basis of shared purpose, not individual needs.

By uniting people in a collective pursuit of shared value and by facilitating the development of futureproof innovations, we aim to create momentum for this collective change. Step by step, project by project, our urban lighthouse projects lead the way by example.

Building The New connects investors, projects and innovators operating in service of the whole. We are currently transitioning from standard governance to steward-ownership.

"Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It’s about doing more good.

WHAT WE DO

We facilitate the development of futureproof urban innovations by connecting ideas, projects, teams and investors.

We kickstart pioneering innovations by directly implementing them in lighthouse projects we create.

Through our expanding ecosystem, we provide network, knowledge, inspiration and projects.

React EU - Kansen voor West

Boom was founded in 2019 by a team of architects, builders, developers and other impact driven urban planners including Building The New and design studio Space&Matter. A growing collective working together with other impact-driven architects, builders and developers.

A platform for developers with a choice of ready-made building systems, designed by forward-thinking architects and built by local timber companies and factories together with other impact-driven architects, builders and developers.

The first results: Boom open Studio.

Progressive architects have designed wooden buildings in the Boom Open Studio in co-creation with impact-driven builders and developers. Thanks to our smart design and development process and the use of digital tools, the buildings have already been brought to VO level.

For developers, there is a choice of ready-made buildings by progressive architects and local wood construction factories and companies. Boom open subsidy is financed with React EU resources – from the European Regional Development Fund in the Kansen voor West program.
