Rethinking Seoul - New Strategies for Urban Regeneration

Another lecture will be held by Sander Lenferink from Radboud Universiteit. His lecture is called: "Transit-oriented development for urban redevelopment in the Netherlands"

Recently the Netherlands has rediscovered the potential of public transport for stimulating urban development. In this lecture on transit-oriented development (TOD), the Dutch approach to TOD will be elaborated, as well as, the long history of the Dutch with regard to integrating public transport and real estate development. Some recent Dutch examples will be highlighted, including the redevelopment projects of the five major railway stations in the Netherlands.
