The Dutch architect and urban planner Kees Christiaanse and his bureau KCAP conceive and realize exceptional concepts and designs in the fields of urban planning and architecture, and at the interface between the two. In the space of 15 years, KCAP Architects & Planners has grown into an internationally active bureau with an impressive built oeuvre in the Netherlands and beyond. KCAP's broad field of work includes large-scale urban and landscape planning, complex inner city transformations and designing buildings.

In recent years, the attention for the future development of European cities has shifted towards the regeneration and restructuring of urban areas, including inner cities. KCAP has realized pioneering work in this area: at former dockland and industrial locations and in the waterfront areas along important rivers. With highly distinctive concepts, KCAP acts as supervisor, urban planner or architect within these settings.

This wide-ranging book represents the first in-depth survey and analysis of KCAP's most important projects.
