Kees Christiaanse
Track 2: Time of Execution (Construction & Circularity)
An architect, urban planner and internationally recognised thinker on the future of cities, Kees Christiaanse has shaped the European and global urban agenda through his work on strategic planning, urban regeneration, and the transformation of complex territories.
At the Biennale, he will keynote Track 2: Time of Execution (Construction & Circularity), a theme focused on implementation at the right time. As cities face growing demands for renewal, resilience, and housing, this track explores best practices in construction solutions that can reduce costs and delivery time while enhancing environmental quality.
Henriette Vamberg
Track 3: Time of People (Construction & Circularity)
As Managing Director in Copenhagen, Henriette leads a portfolio focused on city transformation work at Gehl, where she has been a member since the founding in 2000. Her work is deeply rooted in Jan Gehl’s methodology, focusing on evolving urban design strategies through diverse global projects.
At the Biennale, he will keynote Track 3: Time of People (Sovereignty & Rhythms), a theme focused on the way technology reshapes work and frees up human time. This panel will look at best practices in how urban design and public spaces can foster health, wellbeing, and social inclusion for people of all ages in cities.
