Griffiersveld in Apeldoorn is the residential street where circular demolition put the old concrete pavers back to work. More than 4,600 square metres were lifted and reused on the street and on nearby farms.
What you can do on Griffiersveld
- Walk the street and look at the pavers under your feet (CityLoops handbook)
- Ask the municipality to measure the next road before it is broken up
- Ask them to list spare pavers on DuSpot, the matching tool they chose
- If you need hard paving nearby, ask whether a city depot still holds stones from a job like this
How to join
The renovation itself is complete. You join by walking the street and by asking the city to repeat the rule. Materials from Apeldoorn projects, and stock in municipal depots, were to be listed on DuSpot after the agreement. There is no ticket and no meeting time.

Why it matters on Griffiersveld
Road jobs throw away huge areas of sound pavers. Here the stones stayed in the neighbourhood. The count before the works told the city how much it had and how good it was. That list is what makes the next match possible.
