Last week, September 30th and October 1st, De Urbanisten participated in an animated 2-days workshop “Europark Antwerp” Invited by Christian Rapp, city architect of Antwerpen, an international team of architects, landscape architects, and urban designers sketched on a long-term perspective for the monumental modernist neighbourhood Europark on the left bank of the Scheldt.

On Tuesday evening, December 8, De Urbanisten, together with the municipality of Rotterdam and Dudok Groep, presented the sketch design for the Hofbogenpark to local residents and stakeholders from Rotterdam Noord. The design, made by De Urbanisten in collaboration with DS landscape architects and De Dakdokters, was received with great enthusiasm.

The design team OMGEVING – De Urbanisten – COBE has been selected for the further development of Ring park Het Schijn in Antwerp. In the coming years the team will work out the vision, the predesign and the final design based on the concepts for ‘zone east’ from the preliminary trajectory ‘Over de Ring’.

The municipality of Rotterdam wants to invest 233 million in seven major greening projects, including our proposal for the two-kilometer Hofbogenpark on the location of the railway of the former Hofpleinlijn.

The Waterplan of Antwerp has been selected to show at the IABR’s main exhibition ‘Water as Leverage’. The Waterplan is a complete and comprehensive plan to climate proof Antwerpen for future challenges.
