This annual English-language knowledge event, focusing on the potential of roofs, is organised by Rotterdamse Dakendagen in collaboration with the Architecture Institute Rotterdam (AIR).

Katrina Johnson-Zimmerman

As an urban anthropologist, Katrina Johnson-Zimmerman (US) views the city as a human habitat. She is particularly interested in the role of urban planning in promoting (in)equality in society (equitable urbanism). For the Rooftop Knowledge Day, Johnson-Zimmerman led a workshop on Urban Placemaking on Rooftops and was part of a panel discussion with Helen Toxopeus and Jacintha Scheerder to explain the programme.
