Where is the public domain in Rotterdam-South? What do these places typically look like in this part of the city? Where do people like to go, what makes them feel at home and which places are they proud of? These might be squares, streets and parks, but also shopping street, bars, theaters, gyms and sporting grounds, churches, bus stations, festival locations and even office parks that offer a wide range of activities.
The Map of Rotterdam-South, on display in the exhibition space of IABR–2016, shows these places. Some places have been designated as public domain, yet are still in development. Other places may become new public domain when brought to life by initiatives of residents, entrepreneurs and associations.
You are asked, individually or as a group, as a resident, community, entrepreneur, architect or urban designer, to propose ideas about what should or could be done to turn these places into new public domain in Rotterdam-South.
