(Archive) Dommel Vibes

The Dommel is a dynamic river flowing through a burgeoning city. How can we ensure that this waterway continues to play a shining role for Eindhoven?

This project was part of DDW 2023

Dommel Vibes dives into the rich life of the most important water in Eindhoven. Planting and water enrich the quality of city life for people and fauna. Offering opportunities, but also making demands of our growing and densifying city. So we are looking for a smart approach for now and the future.

Where there’s water there’s a way

City water reveals contrasts and makes conflicting wishes tangible. Between economy and climate, urban densification and quality of life, biodiversity and recreation. How can we best respond to the wish for a greener and more water-rich environment in a growing city? And are we talking about parks or nature reserves?

These issues demand an intensification in collaboration and innovative solutions from different perspectives. From residents, industry and parties like the Water Board. Without losing sight of the interests of flora, fauna and water.

Optimum symbiosis

Eindhoven municipality is collaborating in various projects. The objective is to increase awareness and create support, unifying contradictory wishes, and reaching optimum symbiosis between naturally occurring water and our city.

Exhibitions with in-depth programme

In Dommel Vibes you see and experience how collaboration on water is taking shape, the results and where it can lead. Pivoted around three inspiring exhibitions. In addition, we will be organising an in-depth programme of lectures and workshops for stakeholders and interested parties.
