Real Urbanism
Decisive Interventions
2018
| Between 2011 and 2014, urban planner Ton Schaap was a lecturer in urban planning at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. He investigated the qualities of eleven specific places in as many cities. What makes those places so successful? Ton Schaap invited ten colleagues to answer that question. He himself wrote the introductory text and the story about his own field of work in Amsterdam.
Theo Baart photographed in Tokyo, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Edinburgh, St. Petersburg, Venice, Sao Paulo, Lille, London, New York and Barcelona in 2015 and 2016. That resulted in 77 photos presented as a spreads in
