Red&Blue Annual Symposium 2024
The third annual Red&Blue Symposium was held at Utrecht University on 11 October 2024. The event provided an opportunity to bring the entire Red&Blue consortium together again, aiming at reflecting on the second year of the program, sharing insights and progress on the Red&Blue’s research agenda, and looking ahead to the future of the five-year program. The event also provided ample opportunity for the Red&Blue community to strengthen relationships, foster collaborations, and align research with the latest developments in policy and practice.
The participants, around sixty representatives from academia and various professional fields such as urban planning, property development, flood risk management, climate finance, real estate investment, climate adaptation, and spatial governance, actively engaged in meaningful discussions on ‘Water en Bodem Sturend’ (WBS). In interactive sessions, consortium partners shared and exchanged insights on the key question: ‘‘How to embed WBS as guiding principle for spatial development in the Dutch built environment?’’.
