Urban Planning Research Day
Bringing together academics, researchers and visitors, the annual Urban Planning Research Day aims to discuss, contemplate and reflect on planning practices of the UP Group researchers in an informal and welcoming environment. It’s a day to share our research, connect across the UP Group, and inspire each other.

Tours That Matter
Walking tour of Hamerkwartier tracing its past, observing its present and imagining its future while reflecting on the dilemmas that come with urban transformation. The Hamerkwartier’s temporary phase brings a sense of freedom and creativity, yet its inevitable redevelopment also means the loss of those very free spaces that give the city its experimental spirit.
