In May 2014 a group of Dutch planners, urbanists and politicians went on a field trip to Bucharest to discover the creative energy in a city that in terms of management couldn’t be further apart from Amsterdam. What did they discover and how do Bucharesti see the development of creative Amsterdam? Organizers Joep de Roo and Meta van Drunen will shortly explain the goals and discoveries of the trip. Constantin Goagea and Stefan Ghenciulescu will highlight some interesting case studies from Bucharest. Jaap Modder will present what he learned from the city.
