PLACEMAKING

We strive to develop an ecosystem for urban placemaking by balancing resources that will revitalize the waterfort area, tell the history of the Waterfort and enable people to visit the area.

The Algemeen Pensioenfonds of Curaçao (APC) acquired the Plaza hotel complex in 2020, with the plan to develop the site, including the surrounding area. The acquirement of the Plaza hotel is the starting point of the placemaking journey. 

Placemaking is a development technique which is done by introducing a temporary program to make positive changes in a community. These kinds of events are a good way to involve the community, get people excited, build support, and foster a lively atmosphere that people want to be part of. 

With Road2Plaza, we want to achieve this too by primarily bringing people together, revitalizing the city centre and making our public spaces more lively.
