Dutch landscape architects, urban planners and urban designers are gaining growing influence in discussions on pressing issues such as climate change and the energy transition, as well as on housing matters and urban renewal. They are able to combine expertise in guiding complex, long-term developments with inspiring design studies and gems of artistry and workmanship.

This Yearbook reviews the state of the art in Dutch landscape and urban design in 2018. In addition to showcasing twenty exemplary projects, the book includes a review of the selection committee’s choices, an essay on urban design and recent heritage, an interview with the maverick Eindhoven housing corporation director Thom Aussems, and a photo reportage on what threatens to become a new challenge for landscape architecture and urban design: the severe drought of 2018.

Blauwe Kamer Yearbook Landscape architecture and Urban Design 2018 received financial support from Creative Industries Fund NL,  Chief Government Architect and Advisors and the NHBOS foundation.
