title: The Vierdaagse Nijmegen: Marching Towards Spatial Change?
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: This research explores the influence of the Vierdaagse on public space in the city of Nijmegen. Through a document review combined with semi-structured interviews with the major stakeholders, this thesis poses the ways in which this mega event affects public space and spatial policy. The organisation of the event and the Municipality have similar interests, resulting in specific legal constructions that are first and foremost in place to make the organisation of the event as smooth as possible. This has effects in the spatial domain of the city of Nijmegen, not affecting sec policy, but being more interwoven. Concrete examples are the influence on the Waalkade development, and consideration of the event in interventions in public space by the Municipality of Nijmegen. At the end recommendations are made to further elaborate on the findings and to possibly improve the event even more.
