Abstract
This research analyses the integration of housing and industry in Haven-Stad, Amsterdam, with the aim of creating a harmonious coexistence.The central problem is the acute housing shortage in Amsterdam, while vacant industrial sites in Haven-Stad remain unused.The study presents concrete urban planning, architectural and technical solutions, such as green corridors, flexible housing typologies with double facades, and waste heatutilisation.The implementation is divided into five phases: inventory, area preparation, housing construction and cooperation/integration. The conclusion drawn is that harmonious integration is indeed feasible, provided that a
number of factors are taken into consideration. These include minimising nuisances, exploiting synergies and ensuring that the needs of residents are central to the process. The approach developed in this study can serve as a model for other urban-industrial areas.
