How to strategically approach densification in a historic city?

Haakon Brouwer to present Schipholweg at CTBUH 2024 International Conference
Text by

Join Senior Architect Haakon Brouwer at the CTBUH International Conference in London, where he will speak about the integration of modern developments within historic urban contexts, focusing on the Schipholweg project in Haarlem.

Haarlem, renowned for its well-preserved architectural heritage, faces a significant divide between its historic center and the post-war satellite city of Schalkwijk, with the Schipholweg symbolizing this separation. The design aims to bridge these contrasting areas while addressing modern challenges such as housing shortages, traffic congestion, and sustainability.

If you’re attending the conference in London, catch his talk on September 25 during the ‘Urban Renewal: Humanized Spaces and Iconic Transformations’ session. 

Date & time: 25 September 2024, from 11:10 (BST).

Location: The Barbican Centre, Silk St, Barbican, London EC2Y 8DS
