AanmeldenThe presentation of the 2025 Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning Yearbook will take place on Saturday afternoon, 13 December, in the Lutheran Church in the heart of Breda. The city in Brabant is represented in the book with two projects: the restoration of the old city river Mark and the renovation of the Heuvel reconstruction neighbourhood.
After an introduction by committee chair Yttje Feddes, we will talk to designers whose work is featured in the book. We will then take a closer look at the significance of the Mark for the greening of Breda’s city centre and its relationship with the surrounding landscape. The first copies will be presented to Councillor Eddie Förster and representatives of the NVTL and the BNSP.
Prior to the book presentation, you can take part in various excursions.
Due to limited space, registration is required via this form. Please indicate whether you will be participating in one of the excursions.
