who we are

Rotterdamse Dakendagen aims to show how rooftops could contribute to a healthy, lively, inclusive, sustainable, attractive and resilient city. We do this by organising our annual festival, where all residents and visitors of the city are welcomed to explore its currently underutilised rooftop landscape (or ‘roofscape’). We see the inner city of Rotterdam as an open laboratory where we show inspiring examples, investigate the potential of the roofscape in an appealing way and reflect on the opportunities and (im)possibilities of rooftop use. We strive to serve as an international example by organising innovative and striking projects. To serve as a source of inspiration and a driving force; through temporary interventions, sustainable projects and by sharing knowledge.
