Day 1 | The Streets as Social Spaces.
1.00 - 5.00 PM + Dinner starting at 7 PM
The first day of the conference focuses on questions such as: Who makes the street? Who uses the street and what is the street used for? These are the main questions of the first theme: The Street as Social Space. With these questions we will be able to understand what people value in a street, what is needed to make a good street or in other words, what makes the street. Furthermore, different perspectives can come forward: whether the street is a space for mobility or a social space.
Day 2 | Threats and Opportunities for the Richness of the Street.
9.30 - 5.00 PM
The theme of day two will be divided into two separate themes: one focuses on how people attack the richness of the street and the other focuses on how processes (design and redesign, modernization and planning for example) attack the richness of the street. For both of the themes the past can also be incorporated to see changes or continuities. It is however important not only to focus on threats but also on opportunities. People and processes can be opportunities for the richness of the street too. Lastly, it is important to indicate for whom and why certain people or processes are threats or opportunities to the richness of the street.
Day 3 | Reclaiming the Streets
9.30 - 4.00 PM + Drinks after 4 PM
Today focuses on exchanges between academia and practice. The day is designed around core questions such as: What do we want to reclaim from the street? Who do we reclaim the street for? Who is responsible for claiming the street and what can they do? Day three also consists of a Future Panel, Conversations and a workshop-like structure inspired by ‘Living the Not-Yet'. [under development]. We will further discuss the role of academia and the role of practice.
