Goal
Environmental friendly city + sharing lessons: "De Warren wants to realize an affordable future, one in which there is room for care for each other, for the environment and the city.

In this way, this knowledge is made available to future groups that have the same dream of living." - website "We are trying to build good and sustainable rental homes with people on middle and low incomes," said Chandar van der Zande, one of the six initiators of Wooncoöperatie De Warren. - Parool (source) "We want to be a small town in the city.
