A qualitative study into the municipal perspective on housing in the period after the abolition of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment and a possible comeback?"^^ . "The Netherlands has a growing shortage of housing and during the elections of March 17, 2021, this \r\nwas an important topic. Both political parties and market parties expressed in the press a preference for \r\na return of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM), which was \r\nabolished in 2010. During this process of decentralization, tasks related to housing from the central \r\ngovernment were transferred to the municipalities. However, in today's discussion about a return of a \r\nministry of VROM, the municipality's vision often does not seem to emerge. To make the suggested \r\nrecentralization of housing policy successful it is also important to look at what has been going on within \r\nthe municipalities in recent years. Therefore, the research question is as follows: \r\n“To what extent and how did the abolition of VROM affect the construction of new housing from a \r\nmunicipal perspective?” \r\n\r\nBy using semi-structured interviews, the vision of small, medium and large municipalities on the process \r\nof decentralization and its effects on the housing market has been mapped out. In addition, discussions \r\nwere held with the municipalities about their vision of a returning central government and the desired \r\ninterpretation of this. Research has shown that, for various reasons, municipalities have not experienced \r\nthe abolition of VROM as a process of decentralization. Nevertheless, there are several factors related \r\nto the decentralization literature which can be linked to housing construction. Factors such as the \r\ncapacity of both finances, manpower and knowledge play an important role. The factor of customization \r\nalso influences housing construction. Although the media often mainly describes the municipalities and \r\nthe national government as important government bodies related to housing construction, the important \r\nrole of the provinces emerged during the interviews. Finally, although the abolition of the Ministry of \r\nHousing, Spatial Planning and the Environment in 2010 was not perceived as much of a 'problem', the \r\nmunicipalities are generally of the opinion that slightly more tasks from the central government should \r\nbe taken up again. Whether this is under a Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment \r\nor not. Communication within, from and with the central government is key."^^ . "2021" . . . . . . .
