Here you will soon see directly how healthy living feels: cooler streets, fresh air, and places to meet each other. This is how the neighborhood contributes to reducing health disparities in the region.
A living neighborhood
The restructuring goes beyond new homes. Streets will have more greenery, there will be space to move, to play, and to meet each other. The housing offer will become more varied, so that young and old can live here comfortably and get to know each other.
“A nice neighborhood starts close to home. In the Zeeheldenbuurt, we ensure more greenery and safe play areas together with the neighborhood,” emphasizes alderman Mark Tuit. “We create places where residents meet each other. This way, healthy and pleasant living becomes a matter of course for everyone in the neighborhood.”

Here, improvements are directly visible: more coolness, more meetings, and less water nuisance. What proves to be good, we take with us to other neighborhoods in Hoogeveen. This way, more and more residents benefit from smart and pleasant adjustments.
Together we make it better
The municipality will further develop the plans with residents and partners in the coming period. Because improvements are made together. Thanks to the Regio Deal Zuid- en Oost-Drenthe, many measures in the public space can also be implemented.
