Background
The City Council approved the Strengthening Village Center project in January 2024. A well-functioning and attractive center is a crucial link for Wassenaar society. Partly as a result of changing consumer behavior due to internet purchases, retail is under pressure. To keep shopping in Wassenaar attractive and compete with surrounding shopping areas, Wassenaar needs to improve its quality. The Strengthening the Village Center project includes a redevelopment plan that will revitalize our village center. The revitalization will create a logical and recognizable public space with quality and an unambiguous appearance, inviting visitors to stay longer in the center. This will not only have a positive effect on the visitor's spending pattern, but also create new private investment and attract entrepreneurs and investors. This gives a boost to the business climate and prevents vacancy.
Since 2016, the municipality has been working together with center management, entrepreneurs and property owners to strengthen the center. The intensive process of co-creation with residents, (catering) entrepreneurs, retailers and property owners has led to a widely supported redevelopment plan with stores, good facilities and a future-proof design of the public space.
You can see an impression of the redevelopment in the Image Quality Plan.
