Stagioni 2027 in Rotterdam
The venue
Rotterdam, a city that lives below sea level
Havenlab sits on the Maashaven, ten minutes by metro from Rotterdam Centraal. Around it are some of the world's most studied adaptation projects: water squares, floating homes, green roofs and the storm surge barrier at the mouth of the Maas.
On Thursday the field visits take you to them, guided by the engineers and planners who built them.
