Anne Loes Nillesen is now member of NWP (Netherlands Water Partnership)‘s Advisory Board. As a member of NWP’s Advisory Board, Nillesen represents the group of spatial planners and architects and in an interview she elaborates on the developments and opportunities within the international water domain. “Every area has a unique water system”, she tells NWP. “In our projects, the water and soil system conditions function as the guiding principles in each area. We strive to create quality urban areas, with enough space for urban green, which is sufficiently climate adaptive. We strategise on where to develop ports and cities and where to give space to nature.’’
