The 7th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam explores the role of spatial design in making the city of tomorrow. The IABR–Ateliers, the exhibition, and the program offer perspectives on the city that we want. A city that puts a premium on the public domain, and that shows solidarity and is socially inclusive. A productive city that runs on clean energy, and where the economy adds local value and is guided by a social agenda.
