In addition, the Municipality of Rotterdam has presented nine promises to the city, laid out in a manifesto that makes placemaking more accessible and transparent.<br \/>And to top it off, everyone is invited to roll up their sleeves and join in through the City Programme.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Placemaking Week Europe<br \/>\n<\/strong>Deelnemers aan Placemaking Week Europe delen toffe idee\u00ebn en projecten, en starten samen nieuwe initiatieven om steden mooier en beter te maken. Dit jaar zijn er meer dan 100 sprekers waaronder Rinske Brand, Joep van Lieshout en Francine Houben. Daarnaast zijn er allerlei outdoor workshops en stadstours.  <\/p>\n<p>From the Keilepand in M4H, more than 500 city makers are exploring Rotterdam \u2014 visiting true placemaking gems such as HBS: New Lab, Roodkapje, Independent School for the City, OASE, Het Gemaal op Zuid, Hillevliet, and Katoenhuis. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Manifesto<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Municipality of Rotterdam has examined what it can do to help create more spaces like these.<br \/>The outcome is captured in a manifesto that outlines how the city will make placemaking accessible and transparent. Got a good idea? You can take it to the Initiatives Desk (Initiatievenloket).<br \/>No idea yet? Then get inspired through the City Programme.     <\/p>\n<p><strong>City Programme<\/strong><br \/>\nPlacemaking Week Europe is completely sold out \u2014 but fortunately, there\u2019s also the City Programme.<br \/>It offers a range of events throughout the week that are (almost) free to attend.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;10959&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;10960&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243;
