Nathalie de Vries, Founding Partner of MVRDV, will speak at the Lithuania Urban Forum in Vilnius, Lithuania, with a lecture titled "Climate and Density as Drivers for Urban Development".

Drawing on examples from MVRDV’s urban design practice, Nathalie will explore how climate considerations and urban density can guide the development of cities and neighbourhoods. Her presentation will include the strategic plan for Groningen’s inner city, realised housing neighbourhood masterplans, and Manifestation, an initiative that uses architecture and urban design to inspire change.

Her presentation is part of the afternoon session, which will examine how planning can create vibrant and resilient living environments in response to economic and demographic challenges over the next two decades. Following the presentations, Nathalie will join Prof. Piotr Lorens, Chief Architect of Gdańsk, and Mindaugas Statulevičius, President of the Lithuanian Real Estate Development Association, for a discussion titled "Small Moves, Big Impact," moderated by Martynas Marozas.
