Invite us to organise
Training

Apart from our annual three daily City at Eye Level Spring Training in Rotterdam we can organise trainings on City at Eye Level, Placemaking, Inclusive Cities and many more subjects.

We can organise different size trainings

We offer different packages for the trainings. We don’t believe in a one fits all package, so we offer the following packages, differing in size of themes:

  • Small: 3 hour City at Eye Level/Placemaking training and place game / eye level game on site
  • Medium: 1 day training
  • Large: 2 day training
  • Extra large: 3 day training

Training elements

We specialize in a very wide range of topics. Here’s a selection:

  • The City at Eye Level: creating human scale streets with interaction between buildings and streets. We will learn about the mechanisms of creating great ‘plinths’ — active ground floors.
  • Placemaking: turn public space into great places where people feel at home.
  • Placemaking as part of a larger, long-term approach: the journey from Placemaking to Place-Led Development, Place Management and the business case of placemaking for system change.
  • Participation, co-creation and community-building: how to include the community in the co-creation of public space, in an inclusive and sustainable way.
  • Learning by doing: hands-on tools to apply the new knowledge directly by means of the Eye Level Game and the Place Game. Apply the tools to inspiring cases in Amsterdam.

Network developer & advisor
Anna Bradley has been a project manager and consultant at STIPO since 2018. In 2016 she graduated as a psychologist from the University of Toronto. In her eyes, our environment has a major influence on our physical and mental health and therefore likes to work on creating healthy, safe and comfortable living environments. After her studies in Canada, Anna moved to the low countries for the Master Urban Geography in Utrecht, which she combines part-time with her work at STIPO. She develops new tools for European collaborations for Placemaking Europe and the PlaceCity project.
