On 29 March, Jasper de Haan gave a lecture on the city, the energy transition and what we can and should do with it spatially, at the invitation of Ruurd Roorda as part of the post-master's programme at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he himself got his PDEng.

In Bert Dirrix's beautiful Vertigo building, an enjoyable discussion was held with a small select group of students, ranging from Le Corbusier's Plan Voisin via Pruitt Igoe, postmodernism to the omnipresent influence of fossil fuels to the Gulf States and a plea to look at the city of the 18th and 19th centuries for the city of the 21st century.
