Samenvatting

‘Redefining the historic center of ‘s-Hertogenbosch’ is a multi-faceted project which aims at the revitalization of the historic inner city. It takes a new turn on the Pijp district, mostly eradicated by after-war planning and the introduction of largescale complexes, which by now have lost their function. By reinstating former connections in the urban fabric and water structure, a basic framework for new programmatic and spatial transformation is laid out, which also facilitates new policies in environmental quality, mobility, and functional diversity. The reconfiguration restores old sightlines and green zones, thereby introducing a varied living and working environment in touch with the larger inner city and adding to its potential in future conservation and transformation. The quality of the research and project images contributes to the argument for synergy in urban practice and design.
