Within the framework of the preparations for the first project in Jordan, the engineering team of GreenfieldCities paid a company visit to De Meeuw. This company is an industry leader in high quality flexible building solutions. GreenfieldCities have chosen to kick things off using a pop-up concept. This has several benefits. Results can be achieved quickly. And having the initial design and built phase in Europe helps to de-risk those activities and secure certain pre-set sustainability performance levels. Ultimately, this approach also benefits the local society and economy. By establishing a presence in Jordan quickly we can start focusing faster and better on development of permanent infrastructures and buildings and local job creation.
De Meeuw’s concepts are designed and constructed to have second and third lives, and feature flexible lay outs and high energy and water usage efficiencies. De Meeuw offers buy back guarantees and already reaches 60% re-use of materials and components. Their goal is to up that number to 90%. Last but not least, De Meeuw are used to work in co-creation processes which fits the GreenfieldCities philosophy very well.
