Flexibiliteit in het ontwikkelingsproces

Abstract

In the coming decades, the attention paid to urban area development will increasingly be focused on suburban area locations. These inner city redevelopments are increasingly made up of property development and infrastructure development. The enormous size of these projects makes this form of development extra complex. Because of the large scope of the projects and the increasing number of actors that is participating in these projects, this will result in a longer development process. If one takes a closer look at these projects, one can see that the projects are often cumbersome and difficult adaptable to changes in the process environment. The tight schedules often used in current and past processes, that describe the process from start to finish, will no longer be able function adequately. Holding on to a fixed image in the future, can mean that the property program will not match the future demand on the moment of delivery. Is flexibility the key to succes?
