Strategies for Districtimprovement

The project “Design Strategies for Regeneration Areas” was brought to an end by public presentations held in the district itself on October the 16th. The input for the plans was provided by the stories and experiences from the actual inhabitants of Oud Charlois. During the Confrontation Lecture held earlier this year, the researchers got the chance to receive information about daily live in Oud Charlois, the opportunities as well as the problems. Based on this information and further analysis every researcher chose his or her specific topic.
