Monday 24 February were project leader Merel Richter (City of Rotterdam) and area manager Merel Richter] (Port Authority) our guests.

The town and the port at the same table is a recipe for a lively discussion. Both have their own different ideas on how the city should continue. Both put their future developments convincingly. Both are right. The city and port can not be with or without each other. This is actually a very interesting starting point for an exciting city.

We have been for the first time at restaurant Dertien. A nice space at beautiful postwar spot in town. All dishes on the small menu are delicious.

Daan Bakker (Daf-architecten), Jeroen de Willigen (DeZwarteHond), Jasper de Haan (architect) and I invite each month a number of colleagues to eat, drink and discuss about our profession, the city of Rotterdam and related matters.
