In this Podcast episode we will investigate how you can make practical work of the social side of urban development.
The participatory side of it, about which you hear a lot of prejudice. A bit exaggerated, you probably recognize it…
You will hear from experienced policy makers and professionals: “It is of no use to me, what should I do with it?” You will hear from residents and entrepreneurs: “It is a shame, I’m not going to waste my time there.” And the often heard: “Those civil servants can’t do anything about it”.
But secretly everyone feels that support and cooperation are essential if you want to go from hopeless to hotspot…
Not easy, but very important. Fortunately, we can learn from Sophie Lauwers from the Zet Foundation, an experienced professional in this field with a powerful vision.
Sophie explains how important teamwork is in the major transitions we are facing. That you need the experiential knowledge of residents, the expertise of policy makers and the capacity of entrepreneurs to come up with solutions together.
Together we will discuss how you can effectively tap into this interplay and take it further.
