Urbanistas RDAM Expo #17

Urbanistas RDAM is a collaborative women-led network, amplifying the voices of women to make cities better for everyone. You don't need to be working in the built environment to be an Urbanista - you just need to love cities!What makes Urbanistas different to other networks is our emphasis on collaboration and action. We are organising socials and 'expos' to bring great women together to share ideas, generate action and create positive change in our cities.

She is the co-author of Building the Cycling City: The Dutch Blueprint for Urban Vitality and Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives. Melissa believes it is imperative to build cities that work for every citizen regardless of age, ability, income, race, or sexual identity, and will be sharing her personal experiences and research on how spaces with fewer cars improve our physical and mental health and social well-being. She is looking forward to a discussion about how mobility and the built environment are linked to our happiness, and the nuances of women&#x27;s experiences depending on where we live and have lived.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlou-westerbeek/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Karlou Westerbeek</a> is an urban designer at PosadMaxwan (TU Delft, graduated 2021). She has a background in the redevelopment of vacant buildings into housing and an interest in the social component of the city. She will share with us the research she conducted at PosadMaxwan, together with Gintare Norkunaite, Laura Thomas and Maria Kibera, about creating space for collective living. How can we as urbanists facilitate more places for collective living and integrate this idea from the start of the project? What does collective living look like and how can we design for it? We are curious to hear your ideas and experiences with collective living in general and how we can stimulate it in the city of Rotterdam.Our evening session of pitches &amp; discussions will start at 19.30 and we hope to wrap it up around 21.30, after which there’s a chance to have some more drinks &amp; snacks (included in your ticket!) and some more conversations.PS: Just a reminder that our Expos are women-only - sorry men, you are very welcome to our other events!Image for flyer: adapted from the cover of &#x27;Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives&#x27; by Melissa Bruntlett and Chris Bruntlett
