Autorenporträt

Francisco Felix Colombo (1954) completed his architecture and urban design degree at the National University of La Plata (Argentina) and his Master in Urban and Regional Design (MTD) at the Universities of Delft and Eindhoven (Netherlands). He has extensive international design experience and has won several architectural competitions in Argentina. From 1993 to 2020 he worked as a senior regional designer at the Province of Zuid- Holland, where he contributed to almost all the major regional spatial visions and policies. His design work has been published in numerous policy documents. His practical experience at the Zuid-Holland Spatial Planning and Mobility department centred on regional planning and design in the South Wing of the Randstad. In addition, Francisco Colombo has worked as a design tutor and mentor in architecture and urbanism for forty years, in particular at the National University of La Plata and Delft University of Technology.

Jeroen van Schaick (1978) completed his urban design and planning degree at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology. He stayed on at the faculty as a researcher in the Spatial Planning and Strategy research group and obtained his PhD in 2011. His thesis, Timespace Matters, is on the knowledge gap between social sciences and designers. Jeroen has been working as a strategic spatial planner at the Province of Zuid-Holland since 2010. In recent years he has specialised in futures studies and regional design methods, culminating in research publications on the societal impact of new technologies, the water-food-energy nexus and the book Kracht van Regionaal Ontwerp (the 2018 Dutch edition of Shaping Holland). His publications include work on the Dutch layer approach to planning, urban time planning and new technologies, as well as the books Urban Network - Network Urbanism (2008) and Urbanism on Track (2008).

Peter Paul Witsen (1964) completed his urban and regional planning degree at the University of Amsterdam. He is a scholar, writer and consultant on spatial planning. He specialises in regional planning, having been involved in the making of development plans for areas like the Green Heart of the Randstad, National Park Nieuw Land (New Land) near Amsterdam and the New Dutch Waterline military heritage zone. He currently heads his own consultancy firm Westerlengte. He started his career as a planner with the Institute for Traffic, Logistics and Regional Development at the Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO. Between 2000 and 2015 he joined the editorial staff of Blauwe Kamer, the Dutch magazine on landscape and urban design. His publications include The Selfmade Land: Culture and Evolution of Urban and Regional Planning in the Netherlands.
