Changing public space

Appendix C Topic list for interviews
with case-study respondents
Conducted in 2006 (see Appendix A)
The interviews with representatives of the actors involved in the redevelopment of the case
studies consisted of three main parts related to 1) the context, 2) the object, and 3) the process
of redevelopment. This appendix gives an overview of the questions and statements posed to the
respondents during the interviews. They have been translated by the author, as the interviews
were held in Dutch. Not all parts were discussed equally extensively in all interviews: the context
was given more emphasis in conversations with representatives of the public sector.
1. Context: backgrounds and objectives of redeveloping public space
Questions (these were only briefly addressed in interviews with representatives of the private sector,
since they mainly refer to the local government’s policy, with which they might not be completely

General vision of redevelopment processes:

representatives):
Importance of socio-cultural dynamics for redevelopment (important or not, why?):
Importance of economic dynamics for redevelopment (important or not, why?):
