Multi-colored roofs
(Flat) roofs in Zoetermeer: often they are still empty and abandoned. Did you know that they can be used for multiple functions?
In 2023, a start was made with the 'Approach to multifunctional roofs Zoetermeer'. This means that Zoetermeer wants to use and deploy the space on roofs for various functions.
Four-color approach
Central to the roof approach of the Zoetermeer Roof Team is the so-called 'four-colour approach'. This four-colour approach allows the roofs to be used in different ways.

- Blue roofs
For more water storage. For example, by collecting and delayed discharge of water on roofs in areas with flooding. - Yellow roofs
For renewable energy generation. For example, encouraging owners to put solar collectors on their roofs. - Red roofs
For adding meeting places, cultural activities and housing. - Green roofs
To increase nature, biodiversity and combat heat stress.
