Aflevering Reinventing The City 2 - Urban Development And The Timescale Of Interventions.

This year the Mayor’s Manual joined the Reinventing the City conference of AMS Institute for innovative insights and fascinating conversations. We spoke to the attending frontrunners about their solutions for urban challenges and their part in reinventing the city.  In our first episode we explored the nature-technology dichotomy that appears to exist when discussing urban solutions. This second episode features a researcher, a lead government advisor and two directors with whom we explore different approaches to urban development and the timescale of interventions. You’ll hear from Bas van Vliet, who researches households as focus points for integral solution finding, from Wouter Veldhuis, who provides insight into the long history and slow future of cities, from Carolien Gehrels on the stacking of urban layers to create space for cities’ key players, and Emiel Reiding on building metaphorical bridges and breaking down walls.      And, you’ll hear us, the Mayors Manual Editors, taking it all in and sharing some insights ourselves.
