Why is the pavement in the city centre of Groningen yellow? How do you build a new neighbourhood? Which way should cars go? Why do we renovate buildings? How healthy is Groningen actually? What exactly are expansion plans? How do we make the city greener? And what should we do to keep living in the city affordable?  

Questions like these probably cross your mind too. Time for answers! You will get them during Noorderzon, where the talk show Stadsuitleg is back this year after a successful first edition. This time, with the help of Atelier Stadsbouwmeester, spatial designers and other experts who know the city and the surrounding area like the back of their hand, we will once again search for the answer to the question: why does the city look the way it does? Call it a crash course in urban planning and urban development, in which you will be completely up to date within an hour.
