How to sustainably deal with urban waste in a densifying city? How to inclusively redevelop an underused station area?
Assess and discuss our City Hub solutions at the Research Results market on Thursday the 20th of June! 

The city of Rotterdam is densifying its city centre. Districts like Pompenburg are redeveloped to become compact neighbourhoods with numerous high-rise residential buildings. At the same time, the municipality has the ambition to become a fully circular city, minimizing waste production and recycling what is left. In other words, innovative solutions are needed to deal with the 500 kilos of waste currently produced per person per year in Rotterdam’s quickly developing vertical neighbourhoods.

Furthermore, in Delft Zuid, new developments pose challenges for inclusivity like participation of businesses and interactions between citizens and urban planners. This requires new solutions for inclusive city-making.

Our MSc students from Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam, have been working on these tasks and propose design solutions. Please be invited to assess and discuss their results and visions during this interactive idea market.

This networking event will take place in the Groothandelsgebouw unit A1.196 in Rotterdam on Thursday the 20th of June, between 16:00-19:00. The event is free of charge, registration is necessary.
