New or No*tropolis

New or Notropolis is an international forum about the spatial and creative developments in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine. This region is currently undergoing demographic decline and urban regeneration is facing enormous pressures. However, it is also an enterprising region; we see the creative market growing and presenting itself in many different ways. Via our tripartite forum, we try to establish new spatial links between the three neighbouring countries, in addition to the creative links.

The outcome of the three meetings (12-4 Heerlen; 8-5 Aachen; 7-6 Hasselt) is now visible on http://www.youtube.com/schunck4u

We would like to make this Euregional network as large as possible. That’s why we care for your input, contacts and ideas about cities, countries, infrastructure, economics, leisure, education, borders, culture and everything else related to it.
With this material we will look towards the future and to the possibility of organizing the next step.

Please, send your materials and ideas to hein.smedts@schunck.nl with the title ‘NEXTNeworNotropolis’ so that we can continue this research together with you in the future.
