Welcome to the Zomerhofkwartier! During the ON AIR: ZoHo lecture you will be introduced to this creative and diverse area that is enclosed by the Hofplein and the RCD on one side and the Agniesbuurt on the north side. Esther Heemskerk (municipality of Rotterdam) explains why it is especially important in this area to make connections between the different city districts. Robbert Jan van der Veen, partner and urban planner at ECHO Urban Design, discusses the different principles underlying the design of the neighbourhood: how do you preserve and enhance the specific qualities of a neighbourhood that is known for its diverse inhabitants and users? Finally, Patrick Meijers (Orange Architects) discusses the architecture and the different residential typologies of the new ZoHo.

The broadcast can be followed on Thursday 3 June at 12:00 PM via the AIR YouTube channel and Facebook.
