The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam kicks off on 23-24 April 2016 in Rotterdam. Prof Maarten Hajer is the Curator, and I am officially designated as Advisor to the Curator. The overall theme is Next Economy – it has been a wonderful experience working with Maarten to conceptualise this ambitious event, and I will deliver a keynote on the 29th entitled Planetary Urbanism. It includes a ‘sub-exhibition’ on African Urbanization that has been co-curated by Prof Edgar Pieterse from University of Cape Town, Tau Tavenga and myself.
