The Project in short
What follows is a short explanation of the project so far. For a more detailed description go to Challenge.
The NDSM Ecosystems
The NDSM is an area that goes trough many stages in its development. After the shipyard had closed its gates the NDSM has already seen a variety of users come and, most of them, go. Over time those different users have claimed their parts at the NDSM. This resulted in a diverse group of users which has the potential to act together and have advantage like an ecosystem. Today however there is not so much of interaction between the different users which causes a lack of a feeling of attachment and a missed chance in cooperation. Meanwhile the vulnerable ecosystem is threatened by the big scale developers who are almost ready to take over the NDSM. In the comming 10 years the NDSM has to show that it is worth more than just a housing and offices site.
There is very little interaction between the different user groups in the NDSM.
