On April 2, 105 students and a number of teachers from the University of the West of England (UWE) have visited the Department of Urbanism of the TU Delft. The students were accompanied by Janet Askew, Marcus Grant, Adam Sheppard, Nicholas Smith and Nick Croft. They were received by Professor Vincent Nadin, who spoke about comparative planning and gave an overview about differences between planning systems in the Netherlands and the UK. They also watched presentations by Frank van der Hoeven (an account of the development and current state of the Randstad) and Erwin Heurkens (RE&H, who talked about “area development” in the Netherlands).
