Strategic Master Plan University Quarter

In conjunction with the University of Amsterdam, the city of Amsterdam is preparing a Strategic Master Plan for the University Quarter. This plan describes the qualities and characteristics of the area between Oude Turfmarkt and Oude Hoogstraat and specifies the factors that will need to be taken into consideration when redeveloping the public space, redesigning the university buildings, logistics and mobility and rendering them more sustainable.

Four specific themed meetings

As part of the prep work for this Master Plan, talks were held with the local community for the purpose of participation. To round things off, the city of Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam will be organising several more meetings on specific themes. You are more than welcome to attend these as well. The themes we will be focusing on stem from the previous participation process. 

What themes will be discussed and when?
