Welcome to Placemaking Week Europe 2024 - Rotterdam Edition!

Wednesday September 25, 2024 11:45 - 13:00 CEST

Katoenhuis White Hall

In this session, participants will explore water-sensitive urban development challenges and strategies from UrbanShift Latin American cities, including San José, Belém, Florianópolis, Mar del Plata, Teresina, and Salta. These cities will demonstrate how they integrate local communities in planning urban spaces that address climate risks while promoting socio-economic benefits.

The session will feature an interactive panel discussion focused on three key scenarios: river basin management, waterfront and coastal development, and sustainable urban drainage. Each city will present its specific issues and approaches, with opportunities for the audience to engage through questions, reactions, and polls via a digital platform like Menti.

Participants will also participate in a hands-on exercise, collaborating with experts and city representatives. Divided into three groups, each addressing one of the scenarios, they will use maps and tools to co-create solutions. This exercise will emphasize balancing community needs and socio-economic benefits with building urban resilience.

The session will conclude with an open discussion on the groups' results, providing a platform for exchanging knowledge, testing tools, and showcasing best practices. This collaborative session will offer a unique opportunity for the Placemaking Week Europe participants to connect with Latin American experts and cities, fostering dialogue and future collaborations across regions.
