How do you keep a region like the South-western Delta liveable and vital?

It is a major theme for HZ University of Applied Sciences. Vitality is a broad and varied subject. It has to do with the vitality of the more than 380,000 residents in Zeeland, but also with the millions of guests who visit the region every year. In addition, the practice-based research focuses on how to create and maintain vital neighbourhoods, vital villages and cities and vital economic entities such as companies. Broad prosperity is a central term in the research in the field of vitality.
