2 million of the 9 million houses in the Netherlands are build in a so called 'woonerf'. This special and unique streetscape allows for placemaking to happen, by reducing the dominance of the car.

In this short (half day) course you can learn the basics of why and how to design a woonerf. Read more at Designing a woonerf course
