Event: Exposing Tarwewijk, Rotterdam
Cohabitation Strategies - 03.12.2009 18:44
Next week the urban research group 'Cohabitation Strategies' will hold a two day public event on the problems surrounding the neoliberal development of neighbourhoods with a focus on Tarwewijk, Rotterdam.
‘The Other City: Exposing Tarwewijk’ is a project by ‘Cohabitation Strategies’, a Rotterdam based cooperative for socio-spatial development that focuses on conditions of conflict and exclusion within the contemporary city. During this three day event, a series of public workshops, excursions and presentations were prepared with the goal of
discussing possibilities to design alternative cohabitation models, stimulate difference in socio-spatial relations and construct parallel local economies in Tarwewijk, a vulnerable and segregated neighborhood in the south of Rotterdam included in this year’s list of the 40 most ‘problematic’ neighborhoods of the Netherlands. This neighborhood is an
exemplary urban case study that reflects the socio-spatial casualties of the Dutch neoliberal trend of urbanization. We kindly invite anyone interested to the following sessions:
