 Abstract

This study aims to determine to what extent collective trauma played a role in the development of the new urban plan of Roombeek and how this affected the district in the last 20 years. What were the consequences of these decisions for the residents of Roombeek?

To answer the research question, theoretical research is conducted about the relation between mental health, spatial planning and post-traumatic urbanism. Furthermore, the historical context of Roombeek and Enschede is analysed. In the last chapter, the spatial plans of Roombeek and the policy decisions are researched. A comparison between policy and practice is an important aspect of this study to construct a narrative about what happened after the disaster.
