About event

The second Common Ground's edition revolves around the theme "How do we remember the city?". and investigates how Eindhoven is formed by its past, from industrial growth to social changes. Designers, archaeologists and urban experts share stories about visible and hidden layers of the city: from heritage and archaeological finds to green urban development. The audience is included in conversations about how this history helps us think about the future of Eindhoven.
