boek cover Forest Urbanisms

quote: Forest Urbanism is geen klassiek stedenbouwkundig model, maar een oproep tot een fundamentele· herziening van onze relatie met natuur, bebouwing en landbouw. In plaats van bossen te zien als een economische grondstof, stellen de auteurs van 'Forest Urbanisms' een radicale denkomslag voor: bos als vertrekpunt van ontwikkeling. - Sven Augusteyns, Ruimte, juni-juli-augustus 2025

A table is neatly arranged with multiple copies of the Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit, a book with a clean white and red cover design. The subtitle reads: “A Guide for Practitioners, Policymakers, and Community Builders.” The authors’ names—Beeckmans, Salamé, Bovo, Hogan et al.—are visible on the covers. The books are stacked and spread out, ready for distribution at the event.

A ReROOT project banner stands at the entrance of a conference room, showing a stylized network map with cities like Brussels, Paris, Thessaloniki, and Dortmund connected by arrows and speech bubbles. The title reads “ReROOT: arrival infrastructures as sites of integration for recent newcomers” with the slogan “see integration differently” at the bottom. Inside the room, participants are seated and listening attentively, with natural light streaming in through large windows.

A group of attendees sit in a well-lit conference room, viewed from the hallway. In the foreground, a large vertical banner for the ReROOT project displays a graphic map linking various cities such as Brussels, Paris, Thessaloniki, and Istanbul, under the title “ReROOT – arrival infrastructures as sites of integration for recent newcomers.” The banner's tagline at the bottom reads “see integration differently.”
