Welcome to Placemaking Week Europe 2024 - Rotterdam Edition!

Wednesday September 25, 2024 16:15 - 17:30 CEST

Keilepand Cube (Main Hall)

This workshop builds upon the foundation laid in our previous panel, which focused on the diverse ways we engage youth in participatory urban transformation. We expand on our discussion through hands-on ideation and collaborative systems mapping, leveraging (professional) practice to reimagine the many roles involved in community planning and design.

Through dissociating roles and responsibilities from professional practice, this workshop aims to extract the specific tasks and actions needed from all stakeholders to effect sustainable, systemic change in the urban environment. This enhances engagement amongst youth and adult stakeholders and facilitates participatory design and decision-making through a redistribution of roles across the action group.

This workshop will take the Masterplan for the Merwehaven neighborhood of Rotterdam as the point of departure for identifying local development goals. Attendees to the Placemaking Week are considered community members and stakeholders of responsible, representative, and sustainable urban transformation. Together, we will brainstorm opportunities for youth to drive urban transformation by taking leading roles in its reimagination and civic experience.
