Urban Planning

Rotterdam is an integral part of the Randstad, one of Europe’s most urbanised and economically significant regions. As a national leader in urban development, Rotterdam is renowned for its innovative approaches to sustainability, architecture, and infrastructure. Often described as a "living laboratory" for urban planning, the city has continuously reinvented itself, most notably following its near-total destruction in World War II. Today, Rotterdam stands as a global hub for urban planners, architects, and engineers shaping the cities of the future.
