荷兰政府再定五处大型住宅区加速建设，到2040年约建2.5万套住房供5万多人居住
荷兰政府新选定五处地区加速新建住房，住房部长 Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan 公布了这一安排。五处地点是 Assen、Best、泽兰省的 Walcheren 一带（包括 Middelburg、Vlissingen 和 Veere）、Roosendaal 和 Zuidplas，预计到2040年共建成约2.5万套住房，可供5万多人居住。
加上这次新增，荷兰全国的大型住宅区达到31处，每个省至少有一处，德伦特省和泽兰省是第一次进入这个名单。荷兰全国的目标是每年新建10万套住房，这批大区是实现目标的主要载体之一。
部长说，这五处地区不需要中央政府额外拨钱修道路或铁路，用现有基础设施条件就能推进。这句话的言下之意是，选址时刻意挑了交通和配套已经跟得上的地方，先把能快起来的项目快起来。
荷兰的住房短缺是多年的老问题，房价和租金长期高位。2.5万套住房分散在五地、拉长到2040年，解决不了全部缺口，但它给五个地区的地方政府和开发商定下了明确的建设坐标，后续要看各地规划和开工节奏。

Dutch Government Adds Five Large-Scale Housing Areas for About 25,000 Homes by 2040
The Dutch government has selected five additional areas to accelerate new home construction, announced by Housing Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan. The sites are Assen, Best, the Walcheren area of Zeeland covering Middelburg, Vlissingen and Veere, Roosendaal and Zuidplas. Together they are expected to deliver about 25,000 homes by 2040, housing more than 50,000 people.
With these additions there are now 31 large-scale housing sites nationwide, at least one in every province, with Drenthe and Zeeland included for the first time. The broader national goal remains building 100,000 new homes each year, and these large sites are one of the main vehicles for reaching it.
The minister noted that no extra central funding is needed for roads or rail at the five sites, meaning they were chosen partly because existing infrastructure can support them, so that projects able to move quickly can move first.
The Netherlands' housing shortage is a long-standing problem, with prices and rents high for years. Twenty-five thousand homes spread over five areas and phased to 2040 will not close the whole gap, but they give the five local governments and developers a fixed building target, and what matters next is local planning and the pace of construction starts.
