At Wednesday morning 23th of March, an excursion will be organized to Lent/Nijmegen on place-based development. This excursion is not only for students who follow the course Understanding Rural Development, but also open for other students. Karolien Andela of the city of Nijmegen will inform us about recent projects such as: ‘Space for the river Waal’ to adapt to climate change), the shift of the river dike which will create a new island and space for recreation and events, ‘the Waal jump’ (new urbanization in Lent), the ‘Waal front’ (reconstruction of a business area) and landscape development.
If you are interested, please sign in by sending a mail to lummina.horlings@wur.nl before March 16th.
