Inclusivity is the cornerstone of thriving urban spaces. It’s about creating environments where everyone, regardless of background, ability, or identity, feels welcome and valued. In cities, inclusivity is crucial, it fosters community, enhances quality of life, and ensures that all residents can participate in and benefit from the vibrancy of urban life. Rijnhaven, and more specifically Luxor Theatre are two of the most relevant locations in Rotterdam when it comes to urban developments and leisure, and both are striving for the implementation of inclusivity. The session will begin inside the Luxor Theatre, where a speech from the theatres general director will be held to share insights on how places like Café Dox are essential for fostering diversity and connection. This will be held in the iconic Rijnfoyer, to allow for a breathtaking view of Rijnhaven, and its new developments. Following this speech, a second speaker will join to share more detailed insights on the topic of inclusivity and its importance in society, with the goal of informing and sharing knowledge from experts. The second part of the session will be an interactive activity. This experience will allow for the visitors to engage with inclusivity firsthand, and to explore activities that challenge the understanding of accessibility, community engagement, and urban design. It’s an opportunity to think creatively about how we can make Rijnhaven a space where everyone feels they belong.
