Welcome to Placemaking Week Europe 2024 - Rotterdam Edition!

Wednesday September 25, 2024 14:30 - 15:45 CEST

Keilepand Inspiratie (Ground Floor)

The official launch of PLING explaining why and for whom we are there. Make placemaking an integral part of all phases and forms of area development and not something temporary.

When it comes to placemaking in area development, the challenge lies with the users of the area. With new construction, it is often not clear at the outset who the ultimate users will be (residents, entrepreneurs and passers-by). And with an area transformation or urban renewal you are dealing with existing users who may or may not return after the development and new users who, just like with new construction, are often difficult to map.

The complex issue behind placemaking in area development is therefore what are the wishes of current and future users with regard to the public space and the plinths before, during and after development.

Using concrete cases, PLING demonstrates the value of placemaking in area development. By sharing success factors and setbacks, we make the lessons learned accessible to participants for inspiration and motivation.

We think we have launched a valuable concept with PLING. But we are still at the very beginning. We would like to discuss with the participants how we can help and inspire municipalities, corporations and developers with PLING.

How can we work together to make placemaking an integral part of area development and what is required for this? And what role can PLING play in this?
