HELPLINE FROM COPENHAGEN
Rotterdam is not alone in its efforts to resolve the housing crisis; urban practitioners in other cities are facing similar challenges. For this reason, AIR has invited Tina Saaby to share her insights on how urban planning can best serve city residents. Saaby, former city architect of Copenhagen, currently serves as the director of the Danish Institute for Urban Planning. Not only sufficient affordable housing will be addressed, but also the need for ample space for amenities, attractive urban greenery, and the creation of pleasant ways to access these areas.
THE FULL SCOPE OF URBAN PLANNING
This discussion engages various experts to talk about the challenges currently facing Rotterdam. They will explore the roles of different stakeholders, how to collaborate effectively, how to maintain momentum, and how residents of Rotterdam can be more involved. Also examples will be discussed where a vision has been successfully translated into actual construction – demonstrating a compelling approach to shaping the city.
