Europan is a European competition of ideas. It brings together design professionals, private stakeholders and public representatives of European cities to generate fresh solutions to today’s challenging urban questions.  For Rotterdam, participation in Europan 15 NL (Europan 15 x Productive Rotterdam) is also an opportunity to test the Concept Omgevingsvisie (Concept Environmental Strategy) in practice. This radical renewal of spatial policy calls for an integrated approach to the stated assignments, with important themes, besides productivity, health, inclusiveness, circularity and compactness.
