Urban Revitalization

The Greater Sudbury Development Corporation (GSDC) sponsored an event on May 27, 2024 entitled Urban Transformation: Learning from Rotterdam. The event featured keynote speaker Jan Knikker, Partner and Director of Strategy at MVRDV, who was a part of the urban revitalization of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. As the driving force behind MVRDV’s approach to architecture, urbanism and computing, Knikker shared key strategies and lessons from Rotterdam's journey. The event aimed to inspire a collective passion from stakeholders and residents for the future prosperity of downtown Greater Sudbury and served as a catalyst for ongoing efforts to update the Downtown Sudbury Master Plan.
