The Rivierenkwartier will be refurbished over the coming years. We are making the neighbourhood greener, safer and ready for the future. We are doing this because residents value more green spaces, better play areas and road safety.
We also want to tackle issues such as flooding and overcrowding around the shopping centre. We are working in phases. In Rivierenkwartier Noord, we will start work in May 2026. We are currently preparing for Rivierenkwartier Zuid. On this page, you can find out what we are doing, where and when.
The contractor, Schagen Infra, shares updates on this project via the Schagen Infra App. Download the app and tap “Rivierenkwartier”. Through the app, you can receive automatic notifications and ask the contractor questions.

The Rivierenkwartier was largely built in the 1960s and comprises many terraced houses and flats. Residents appreciate the facilities in the neighbourhood, but there are also challenges:
That is why, in collaboration with residents and organisations, a wellbeing agenda drawn up. It sets out how we are working to create a liveable, safe and green neighbourhood.
