HERE WE COME, ROTTERDAM !

THEMATIC FOCUS .
As the world is being turned upside down by the big C, we need to prepare our cities for a better future. Here are the four core themes that we are going to tackle in Rotterdam.
URBAN MOBILITY .
Whether you want to get cars off of streets, to become the new cycling capital, or to encourage more men to take public transport, you’ll soon run into both systemic and behavioural obstacles. Learn how to overcome them: by, for and with the next generation.
SKILLS & LEADERSHIP .
Any project's success depends on leaders who are able to convene a powerful team, who nurture their followers and teach the skills they learned by winning and making mistakes along the way. Let’s listen to and connect with some of the most exciting urban leaders around.
CIRCULAR .
Looking back, we’ll be puzzled by how we could think it was normal to simply throw away so much stuff. When recounting how we got ourselves out of this literal mess, we’ll be more baffled still. It's people like you and me who just did things differently.
DISTRICTS .
People identify with their neighbourhoods. Discover how to make them livable (again), where architecture and district visions are going hand in hand, and what brownfield redevelopments can do for better cities.
WE LOVE TO CONNECT PASSIONATE PEOPLE !
Whether it's online or in real life.
