Debate: The future is near
6 June 2024
Why is it important to tackle social challenges integrally, and how can we achieve this? And what makes station areas favorable locations for urban development? As part of the Rotterdam Architectuur Maand, De Zwarte Hond is organizing a panel talk with various table guests, including Michiel van Driessche, founder and partner of Felixx, to discuss these pressing questions on the theme of ‘proximity’.
program
The evening will start with a short presentation by Daan Zandbelt, (urban planner, architect & partner De Zwarte Hond), followed by two panel discussions that will delve into the central theme: ‘proximity’.
During the talk, we zoom in the context of Rotterdam and zoom out by placing our station areas in an international perspective. What can we learn from other countries and what do we learn exactly from designing at a local level? After the talk there is the opportunity for a chat.
