An expert meeting and a public debate from the series\u00a0Strategies for Successful Cities: A Dutch Perspective<\/strong>\u00a0took place on April 17, 2018 in Prague.<\/p>\n

Only few days after the Metropolitan Plan for Prague has been adopted and is open for discussion with the public, Aspen Institute CE and Embassy of the Netherlands have invited\u00a0Zef Hemel<\/a>\u00a0to Prague. Zef Hemel shared the Dutch experience on bottom\u00a0up approach in urban planning, and on the importance and possible ways of including public while setting strategic goals of a city. He furthermore focused on the role of the politicians, being not only decision takers, but also moderators in this important and uneasy process, stressing the art of listening to the others, cooperation with different stakeholders and sharing the dreams and visions.<\/p>\n
