CrowdCafé meets ‘nice here, with #…’ 🤝

Curious about community-led housing? At the CrowdCafé, we offer an introduction to what it means to build and live together. We’ll explain what a housing cooperative is, how it differs from a CPO project, and what other forms of collective living exist. We’re also excited to welcome a Utrecht-based initiative that won the Kaartenbak, who will share their journey from idea to where they are now. Whether you want to start an initiative, join an initiative, or simply learn more: you’re very welcome!

CrowdBuilding is the go-to starting point for community-led housing. On CrowdBuilding.com, anyone with a shared housing dream can find everything they need to take the next step. Home seekers can start their own initiative or join an existing one, connect with others, and apply for building plots.

What’s ‘nice here, with #…”

Nice cities are created by nice people. After all, it’s never nice alone – it’s only nice here, with #other people.

Introducing our monthly hang out: nice here, with hosted one Thursday of the month in the heart of Utrecht – the Huis van Actief Burgerschap in the Bibliotheek Neude. This event is an informal, welcoming space to exchange bold ideas and explore new ways to make our cities… well, nice! 🌍

Whether you’re a city lover, a placemaker, or someone shaping the future of how we live and connect, this is where you belong. We’re inviting the nice people who are transforming cities in creative, critical, and fun ways.

From the housing crisis, to designing livable communities, to urban greenery, and all the challenges in between.

No edition is like the other. Each month, we come together to dive into a different topic to spark new conversations and connections. It starts with a conversation, and ends with tangible collective action!

Through real Utrecht examples and discussion, we’ll dive into how urban design, community-driven initiatives, and long-term thinking can turn dense city districts into places where people connect, thrive, and feel at home.

And of course, there is no good hangout without food and drinks! So we start each edition by sharing a dinner from a local, sustainable caterer.
