Experience the city neighborhood of the future

New construction presents the perfect opportunity to make conscious, future-proof choices. At Cartesius, we are building a neighborhood that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing positive contributions to both people and nature. Every decision is made with sustainability at its core, ensuring Cartesius is ready for the future.

Energy neutral
Living in an energy-neutral neighbourhood isn’t just responsible - it feels good. Here’s how Cartesius makes it happen:

• Reducing energy consumption to minimize the energy demand
• We use local energy sources and energy storage
• Connecting to a bi-directional smart grid, where electric shared cars act as batteries on wheels, preventing peak loads
• We motivate surrounding neighborhoods to share our sustainable ambitions
• Cartesius becomes gas-free and can largely provide its own energy

Fresh air
Clean air makes for a healthier, more enjoyable living environment. Cartesius is designed to actively improve air quality by making walking and cycling the most attractive options.

• Outside space for cyclists and hikers
• Limited number of parking spaces
• Encouraging electric shared mobility to minimize emissions

Together we ensure clean air, less noise pollution and a pleasant living environment in the city of Utrecht.
