For our Italian-speaking followers: podcast Come acqua comanda

How can our cities better cope with increasingly intense rainfall?

In the podcast Come acqua comanda (As Water Demands), hosted by Storti, explores our relationship with water, from the impact of our daily use on this precious resource to the way our cities can become more water-sensitive to adapt to a changing climate.

Representing De Urbanisten, Marcello Corradi was invited to speak on this episode about hydraulic invariance and the concept of the “sponge city”: how flower beds, parks and other green spaces can help absorb and retain rainwater, reduce flood risk and make our cities more resilient.

is the initiator of the podcast and manages the integrated water service for the province of Varese in northern Italy, working to protect water resources and the environment through sustainable water management.

Event | Rotterdam Rooftop Days 2026
 
Yesterday we walked Walk the Block during the Rotterdam Rooftop Days! During the festival weekends of May 30–31 and June 6–7, visitors can enjoy panoramic views across Rotterdam from a variety of rooftops, including the rooftop of Schieblock.
 
The Walk the Block experience showcases the future vision for the Schieblock through visualizations by De Urbanisten, highlighting Rotterdam’s ambitions for greener and innovative urban development.
 
The visualization offers a glimpse of the future Delftseblok, where De Urbanisten team has designed a vibrant rooftop landscape featuring a robust, circular water system and an urban vegetable garden.

It was a great opportunity to experience the Schieblock in its current form before its transformation begins.

News - Marit Janse is the new Speaker for the Living at Zoöp Nieuwe Instituut!

Yesterday, she took over the baton from Maike van Stiphout; quite literally, in the form of a stick found upstream and gnawed on by beavers. As an independent advisor within the Zoöp, Marit gives a voice to non-human life and ensures that the interests of nature are firmly rooted in the decision-making process.

Marit hopes that all Rotterdam-based Zoöps spread through the city like mycelium threads and that Zoöp Nieuwe Instituut positions itself as a voice for the river and its ecosystems within Rotterdam, guiding the conversation on how the city relates to its river and more-than-human life. Ultimately, Marit hopes we’ll rediscover the river as a shared ancestor, much like the ‘Mother Meuse’ in Limburg, connecting everything that lives and grows in our delta.
