Regional City – Local Campus in the Metropolitan Fringe
ANCB and its partners explore the need for new working approaches and tools to understand and support the future of the Region as City. While urban areas receive significant attention, the periphery is often overlooked despite being home to a large population.

Edgelands and Urban Agriculture
Woltersdorf is struggling to become a place to live rather than just being a habitat for people working in the metropolis or an attractive location for weekend tourists. A challenging situation to experiment with innovative and sustainable concepts for livable metropolitan settlements.
Partners: Politecnico di Milano
Design as Politics: the next phase #9
As part of the series Design and Politics, students from TU Delft investigate urban regions under stress and develop two tools to assist spatial planning at regional scale using Berlin-Brandenburg as a case study. Partners: The Why Factory, TU Delft; Design as Politics, TU Delft; Netherlands Ministry for Infrastructure and the Environment, The Hague; German Federal Ministry for Transport, Building and Urban Development, Berlin; DutchDFA Programme; Netherlands Embassy in Berlin
Design and Politics. #7 Re-city, the ‘Total Makeover’
Re-city is a bottom-up approach to the restructuring, renovation and reinvention of our cities, stemming not from initiatives, but out of city-ness, through schemes of any scale, any alliance, any 'rules and regulations' rather than through big projects.
Partners: Henk Ovink, Netherlands Ministry for Infrastructure and Environment, The Hague; Netherlands Architecture Fund, Rotterdam; Netherlands Embassy in Berlin; Heinrich-Böll Stiftung, Berlin; Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung, Potsdam
Design and Politics. #6 Moving Cities
How do we examine and appreciate the mutually influential relationships between transport modes and nodes, movement patterns, population shifts, and urban fabric and composition? What are the key planning tasks around this next stage of network mobility?
Partners: Henk Ovink, Netherlands Ministry for Infrastructure and Environment, The Hague; Netherlands Architecture Fund, Rotterdam; Netherlands Embassy in Berlin
Design and Politics. #2 On the Surface of Architecture
Material researchers and developers increasingly collaborate with designers, architects and engineers to apply new materials and technologies. But are these collaborations emerging in response to opportunities presented for architectural design or to a societal demand for sensory stimulation in the city experience? Is the surface of the city replacing urban structure as the new meaning of urban fabric? How can we make city out of skin?
