Masterstudio: Postgrowth Planning
Coordinated and curated by Federico Savini, the Masterstudio of Postgrowth Planning is part of the Master in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Amsterdam. The Masterstudio is for students with backgrounds in planning, architecture, sociology, environmental studies, anthropology, and geography. Students cooperate in groups to devise radical approaches to pressing ecological and social challenges facing cities. They take Amsterdam as their field of action. The Masterstudio is organized around a new theme each year. The themes are selected to address political debates that become salient in Amsterdam that year. Here is an overview of all past editions.
The output of the studio is a series of policy intervention in the city of Amsterdam. Each student group defines its own topic and approach, combining scientific research with practical propositions. The outcome is a presentation, held in front of a jury of experts. The best results are featured in this page.
