The New Planning Dialogue #05
Directing City Visions
'Directing City Visions' is a peer review session organised by Vereniging Deltametropool in collaboration with Amsterdam Municipality. In this session, five Dutch cities and five European cities are coming together to peer review their visions and action plans to structure their working method, while formulating steps towards implementation. We take the opportunity in a digital set up to have a one-to-one discussion between relevant cities, to be able to exchange city planning and vision making knowledge.
The New Planning dialogue always supported the knowledge exchange and encouraged a reflection and review set-up as a whole program. This is the fifth event of The New Planning Dialogue, in the series of eight inspiring activities focusing on the City scale and the subject of importance of decision making during the process from Visions to Implementation.
Keeping this the foundation of the discussion, we will be taking up city specific subject and how decision-making process can be improvised and position in a more participative approach. We have invited the top five Dutch cities Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, Eindhoven and some other European cities like Helsinki, Lyon, Zurich, Oslo, Paris. We are in a process of personalised content creation with each city and discussing their right subjects to present with a complementing strategy. We expect that this provides an opportunity for both Dutch and European cities to learn some principles and get inspired for their own city visions. We strongly believe that this gathering will initiate the desired co-creative process towards an effective model of spatial planning.
In this online version the dialogue the session will take two different formats, as a whole group and in virtual breakout rooms.
