Comment le site peut-il contribuer à la ville adaptable ? (en anglais)

As in many other European towns and cities the city centre of Leeuwarden has undergone a transformation, both in terms of use and infrastructure. Both during the daytime and in the evening the lively atmosphere has declined: more and more retail outlets are going out of business − leading to vacancies and deterioration. Leeuwarden aspires to a dynamic development in the city centre, one that anticipates the opportunities that a changing society offers. It envisages a return to a combined residential-work function, with smaller shops, studios and offices among the housing in a way that reflects the needs of the inhabitants as well as autonomous developments.
