Anderhalf NAP episode 2: Tim Verlaan on the city in decay
by Sjoerd ter Borg | Spoken in Dutch
In this episode we take a walk in the Nieuwmarkt quarter with historian Tim Verlaan. I ask him whether we can draw a parallel between the urban crises that have emerged from the 60s onwards and the crisis we currently find ourselves in. How should we envision a city in decay and how does it impact our thinking? Almost a year later Tim and I reflect on what predictions have become reality.
