Helmond enters the atlas with Brainport Smart District, a 155-hectare 'living lab' in its Brandevoort area planned for 1,500 homes that would share their own energy, food, water and data on a flexible grid built to grow with residents. A decade in, ambition has outpaced delivery: around 52 circular modular homes stand, and a 2023 course-correction pared back the technology to prioritise affordable housing — a candid case of a smart-district vision meeting budgets.
