Marcel Steinbach
Over the coming years, the A10 Zuid will be moved partly underground into the future A10 tunnel, which will run through the heart of Zuidas. This requires a huge logistical operation, involving an average of around 80 transports of materials and machinery every working day. How will we manage this?

Plan for 0 parking spaces for new Zuidas offices requires further study
Adjusting the parking standard for car parking at new office developments in Zuidas requires further research. Public participation shows that the so-called 0-norm for car parking spaces leads to mixed responses. We are therefore starting a follow-up study into the effects and possible scenarios.

How do you design 10 hectares of public space?
In the future, the A10 Zuid will be routed underground over a distance of one kilometre. This will create around 100,000 square metres of (largely public) space above ground. Designing this space presents a range of challenges.
