Dorpsplatforms
Dorpsplatforms, also known as village platforms, are a type of low-rise housing development typically found in the Netherlands. They are designed to provide affordable housing for low and middle-income families, often in areas where traditional housing is scarce or unaffordable. Dorpsplatforms are characterized by their compact, multi-story design, which allows for efficient use of land and resources. These platforms are usually built in clusters, with shared facilities such as parks, playgrounds, and community centers, fostering a sense of community among residents.

Over the years, dorpsplatforms have become an iconic symbol of Dutch urban planning and architecture. They
