Mobility is a necessity, not a goal. You depend on it to get the care you need, get to work or relax with your family. And there are many more examples.
We bring design and policy together; designers, visionaries and thinkers join forces to shape the future at Dutch Design Week (DDW). Together, we look for ways to make our society as safe as possible online and offline and increase people’s resilience.
