Rotterdam based urbanist, I feel as designers, we shape the space, but it's the residents who turn it into a meaningful place. On a broader level, by balancing diverse needs within a city, region or neighborhood, we help improve its livability and long-term sustainability. In order to achieve this, it is important to be involved at all levels, government and design firms alike.
