Breunis}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/3548/}, abstract = {The Municipality of Groningen has the goal to regain public space for pedestrians and cyclists and to create clean air. One of the means to accomplish that goal is a Zero Emission Zone, which will be implemented in 2025. Therefore, the inner city of Groningen will drastically change. This research aims to identify what the effect of the Zero Emission Zone is on the transformation of the city towards Cities for People. Additionally, the effect of Futuring on this transformation is researched. According to the findings of this research, the realization of a Zero Emission Zone is expected to contribute towards a city within the idea of Cities for People. Additionally, Futurings could catalyze this process by creating a bigger support base for spatial change. The recommendation is to use landscape architects more often in participation processes in order mobilize people for spatial change. In addition, the theory of Cities for People could be integrated into the policy plans of Zero Emission Zones.} }
