Public space Rotterdam

Rotterdam -  How is the public territory organised in Rotterdam? How do the inhabitants of Rotterdam reclaim the space. Which owners can we detect? As we saw in responsability and regulation there are a lot of signs that try to regulate behaviour in public space. They do inspire to act out the opposite. On the picture we see a A4 poster attached to a temporary traffic sign. It says Stads Vernieling/City Destruction, a wordplay with Stads Vernieuwing/City Development. It does play with the kink in the sign. Rotterdam is proud of its skyline. Powerbuilding they say. It hosts major big Mass culture events. The city center has several connected consumer scripts:Hoogstraat market/Koopgoot/Lijnbaan.
