    Planning 2.0 Made in Friesland
    A self-proclaimed revolutionary project is taking shape in Opeinde, a village in Friesland, of all places.

    Innovative hotel chain examined
    A new hotel is rising rapidly right next to the departure hall at Schiphol Airport. Luxury, just like all the other hotels at Schiphol, but without the exorbitant room-rate demanded by most other hotels in the area. What’s the secret behind the new Citizen M hotel chain? A team from Booosting examined the innovative construction method of this hotel.

    Urban Politics Now: Re-Imagining Democracy in the Neoliberal City
    Psychoanalysis considers the Symptom – slips of the tongue, nervous ticks, dreams and suchlike – as a repressed form of speech; like a liar with sweaty palms, we’d rather keep something to ourselves, but just can’t help it. Symptoms are useful to the analyst, as an immediate surfacing of the Real, of the traumatic, uncontrollable issues that really motivate us – libido, the longing for recognition, fear of the Other, and so on. By carefully interpreting symptoms, the analyst can assess the pathology of a patient.
