It’s great to see that that Zaanstad Academy is programming two sessions on ‘Urban Develoment Plans for Dummies’ as a reprise over the coming summer months as part of their Summer Academy program. Together with my colleague and co-creator of this format, Anne Langenesch, I will be heading these succesful workshops, after inspiring editions in 2024.

The interactives sessions are set up to investigate with colleagues from all areas of the organization how we can envisage the future of the city, how to experience the vision of something abstract like an urban development plan and how to make this practical within your professional work.

Looking forward to meet new an know colleagues and dive into the world of 2040 and beyond!
