NL Urban Solutions included in Archicomm magazine

NL Urban Solutions was included in a column ARCHICOMM MAGAZINE 01-2021 (p 44-45). They addressed the importance of integrating water challenges and climate adaptation with urban development.

This has also additional values for ecology, health, and wellbeing of a city/ region/country.

The current decentralized model of spatial planning does not allow for regional level integrated approaches, which are necessary to deal with the housing and climate adaptation challenge simultaneously and effectively.
