The upcoming 6 months I will be in the dungeon. I will be working on a new research project. Really excited about this.. I will keep you posted about it..
Some Dutch:
Het onderzoek gaat (kort gezegd) over mijn persoonlijke (Rotterdamse) Stadsvisie 2040, als reactie op STADSVISIE ROTTERDAM – RUIMTELIJKE ONTWIKKELINGS-STRATEGIE 2030 van de Gemeente Rotterdam, aangezien ik de visie van de Gemeente Rotterdam niet groots en innoverend genoeg vind.
Ja, ik tel er dus 10 jaar boven op, ook vanwege 100 jaar na het bombardement. Dit onderzoek is kort gezegd dan ook een groot vervolg op Jan Hart.
In dit onderzoek kruip ik in de huid van architect, stedebouwkundige, kenniswerker, socioloog, econoom en what not.
