On Saturday August 28 the Anarchitecture pavilion was used as a discussion platform. I invited Jasper Ludolph, working at Politiek Online, to talk about the city dialogue. The municipality of Delft asked Politiek Online to design a participation project for four public areas in the new plan of the railway zone. Through the city dialogue, which was partly held online, the citizens of Delft could post ideas for these public areas. This city dialogue will result in an inspiration document for the designers of the public space.
