15:00 - 16:00 IMAGINE...DUTCH municipalities IN 2040

What could Dutch municipalities look like in 2040 and how can we prepare for this?

Together with a team of experts in futurology, VNG Risicobeheer has developed a scenario for dutch municipalities in 2040. It offers a vision of a possible future and helps municipalities prepare and anticipate trends and developments which offer risks and changes.

In the session Freija discusses how to accelerate positive trends and how to prepare for and try to deflect trends with possible negative effects. The main objective is to help municipalities to create a better, happier and healthier future for their citizens.
