The team of BURA, De Urbanisten and Stadkwadraat BV has been selected by the Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V. and the Gemeente Rotterdam to develop an Urban Plan for Galileipark, a sub-area of Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) and part of the Makers district in Rotterdam.

Galileipark is located in the heart of M4H and, together with RDM, forms the hotspot for innovation and talent development for the port city of Rotterdam. In this dynamic environment, innovation in energy, mobility and circularity is central and this is where the port’s innovation agenda becomes concretely visible. The area will be the breeding ground for a new generation of manufacturing companies that make the Rotterdam region faster, smarter, more sustainable and more innovative. The plan builds on frameworks that have been established, such as the Spatial Framework M4H of DELVA and the recently adopted Zoning Plan. We see opportunities to develop a strong identity by making use of the location outside the dikes and the historical stratification of the area. Galileipark can become the epitome of the new urban working environment, in which collectivity and cooperation are central.

The Urban Development Plan is being developed in close collaboration with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the Municipality of Rotterdam and companies in Galileipark. The team consists of BURA (urban planning/coordinator), DE URBANISTEN (landscape) and Stadkwadraat (development strategy). The Urban Development Plan will be developed in the period December 2024 to June 2025.
