A Human-Centric Future with Progressive Urbanism: The Fight Between ‘Arrogant’ and ‘Just’ Space in Amsterdam

Bachelor thesis | Urban Studies (BA)

Space distribution is an important aspect of city planning. Its proper conduct would contribute to the creation or distortion of proper accessibility, mobility, and right to the city. Historically, cities have implemented a more profit-based approach to urbanism, creating a car-centric narrative in urban space distribution. However, lately there have been movements of progressive urbanism, which advocate for a future change. More specifically, as cities progress, how can urban planners succeed to redevelop their urban planning methods in order to fit a more human-centric approach on a street level.
