16:10 uur – panel discussion with the attendees about two topics:

  • So far, little has been done about health in urban development because there are standards that indicate what is healthy and what is not (protection of health). As long as we are below the standard, it is fine and if we are above it is completely wrong. Or in other words we hide behind the norm and do nothing else. However, when it comes to the protection of health, we can do it at most less badly (less sound, less fine dust, etc.). My position is that we have to get away from hiding behind the norms and have to start with a positive approach in which the health of people is promoted (Jos Schild)
  • Comfort is not a business case, but decrease in sickness absence: would a healthy home positively influence your career and your salary?

 

16:30 uur – 17:30 uur Drink and talk with students and presenters.
