Flat rooftops offer a wealth of underutilised, high-potential space in urban environments worldwide. In Rotterdam, both temporary and permanent initiatives have begun to transform these spaces into vibrant hubs of urban sustainability.
The cultural organisation 'Rotterdam Rooftop Days' explores this potential through their creative programming, showcased in the eponymous annual festival. In this session, we will visit a centrally located Rotterdam rooftop currently awaiting large-scale redevelopment.
Participants will delve into the history of the site and its surroundings, while also exploring future plans for the site. Together, we will envision placemaking possibilities that emphasise community engagement, urban biodiversity, and enriching urban development through cultural programming.
