Urban development initiatives in Rotterdam involve both the loss of community spaces and the expansion of social housing. In the Crooswijk district, the Warme Huiskamer community center faces potential closure and demolition, with a requirement to vacate the Plerestraat premises by February 1, 2027. The SP Rotterdam political party has urged the municipality to intervene and develop a housing plan to ensure community activities continue.

In Rotterdam-Zuid, following the demolition of the Iglesia di Dios church, housing corporation Woonbron plans to construct a new apartment complex on the Texelsestraat site. This project aims to increase accessible social housing in the Carnisse neighborhood, specifically for elderly residents, with construction expected to begin in 2027.
