Mr. Alexander R. Jachnow, Head of
Urban Strategies and Planning, Institute for Housing and Urban Development
Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam
In
this presentation, I would like to go through a few principles that are very
relevant and needed to be considered if you make cities.
So
normally I would talk to urban planners. But all of us, we have some kind of
urban planning inside our profession side, in our ways–how we work in cities,
how we act in cities. So these are principles that are very relevant if we
think about how cities are made. These principles will also illustrate why
collaboration partnerships are so important. Allow me to go quickly through the
panelist who spoke before me, because we had an international corporation where
international organizations come together.
We
had a collaboration in planning where the act of planning the city is very
highlighted in terms of participatory planning approaches. We had a very
impressive presentation on how important it is to have assessments, to have an
understanding of what has been there in the past, how the climate changes and
what will be there in the future.
