Report and reflection

Looking back at: How do you design for a social-ecological inclusive city?

We look back on our event ‘How to design for a social ecological inclusive city’. We received about 80 students, practitioners, and scholars in spatial design-oriented disciplines in the Berlage room at the Faculty of Architecture of TU Delft. The six short pitches and presentations were interspersed with lively conversations and debate with the audience.

This lecture and discussion series aims to showcase a wide range of design methods and applications in Urbanism as an interdisciplinary and multiscale spatial design approach towards the design of social-ecological inclusive cities. Practitioners and scholars from urban design, landscape architecture and planning discussed design methods and processes in teaching, research, and practice, as well as illustrate them with projects.

You can look back at the presentations, and discussions in the videos below.
