Our city is growing fast and the world is facing huge challenges. This is the moment to connect the superpowers of our regional ecosystems. What can we envision to ensure an attractive and enduring habitat for future generations? Which experiments and prototypes are needed to stay a step ahead? What can we learn from other cities?

### Special Guests

**Rain(a)Way – Redesigning Water Cycles for Urban Resilience**
[Fien Dekker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fien-dekker-6030119b/), founder of [Rain(a)Way](https://rainaway.nl/) and [Park Positive](https://parkpositive.nl/), is driven by the conviction that we need to redesign our cities to respond to climate change in an agile way. Rainwater excesses, drought and heat stress are problems that call for a radical overhaul of our urban environment. By bringing natural processes back into the city, such as rainwater retention and using the soil as a sponge, she is working towards a climate-resilient living environment. With her designs she offers systems that makes cities greener, using every drop of rainwater for a better balance with nature.

**Low Tech Campus (RWS) – Prototyping Regenerative Infrastructure**
Highways tend to be hydrological, ecological and social barriers. At the innovation site ‘Kloosters’ alongside the A58, Rijkswaterstaat (RWS, the Dutch Department of Waterways and Public Works) is now taking a first step in breaking down that barrier, while maintaining safety and speed of transport. Here, at the former gas station, [Stan Kerkhofs](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-kerkhofs-39865a35/?originalSubdomain=nl), Living Lab specialist at Corporate Innovation Program of RWS, is creating a so called [Low Tech Campus](https://www.innova58.nl/innovaties/2435655.aspx), where they experiment with harvesting, cleaning, storing and providing water from the highway for local use. A first step towards multifunctional roads.

**During the event the special guests will share their expertise, vision and engage in a talk about our fast growing city. Moderated by Anne Ligtenberg.**
