STR.AAT – STRAAT – STREET
Inspired by the work with pilot cities in ReVeAL, one of the partners at Ghent University has started collaborating in a newly founded organisation called STR.AAT.
Referring to straat, the Dutch word for street, and an acronym for ‘Stad en Ruimte – Alle Actoren Tezamen’ or ‘City and Space – All Actors Together’, the organisation is a critical do and think-tank for urban mobility, public space, cocreation and justice, specifically focusing on project on the level of the street.
More information can be found on the website www.str-aat.be (in Dutch).
