An Exemplary City
€ 14,95An Exemplary City is an inspiring ode to urban planning and the city of Groningen, written by Jeroen de Willigen, Mark van der Heide, and Pieter Boersma. The book explores the groundbreaking 1928 plan by H.P. Berlage and H.P.J. Schut, which remains highly relevant in today’s urban challenges, such as housing development, sustainability, and the energy transition.
The authors advocate for an urbanism that goes beyond financial value, emphasizing coherence, public space, and context. Groningen serves as a compelling case study, not only because of the authors’ deep connection to the city but also due to the unique way in which Groningen tells its urban story.
With a passion for the city and a call for careful urban development, A Model City offers inspiration for designers, policymakers, and everyone invested in the future of our cities.
