As a delta city, Rotterdam has long focused on preparing for extreme weather events. In a conversation during Placemaking Week Europe, Johan Verlinde, head of the Rotterdam Climate Adaptation Program, explained how the city is advancing its strategy with measures like greening public spaces, streets, facades, and rooftops. Lea, our Community and Communications Lead spoke with Verlinde about how Rotterdam views climate change not just as a threat but as an opportunity to create a more livable city.
