Dutch cities face growing pressure to reduce CO₂ emissions and support sustainable urban development. The Netherlands is one of the most urbanized countries in the world, with more than 92 percent of its population living in urban areas, which increases the environmental impact of construction and infrastructure development . This makes sustainable construction and data-driven municipal planning a national priority. The LOKET consortium, involving municipal, academic, and industry partners including JADS and TU/e, reflects this ambition. The LOKET programme and the planned Innovation Quarter Den Bosch (IKDB) aim to explore practical low-carbon logistics coordination and environmentally responsible neighborhood development.

The Dutch healthcare system is under growing pressure. An aging population, increasing treatment complexity, and a shortage of medical staƯ are creating an urgent need for smarter, more eƯicient clinical workflows. My thesis directly tackled this challenge by reimagining how HDR-brachytherapy for prostate cancer can be delivered — making it more accurate, more eƯicient, and more sustainable for the future of cancer care.
