Eindhoven: journey to the future

We are starting our tour at the square in front, and we will talk about Eindhoven and why it is so attractive to live here. What is a human-centred design for urban planners?

Why Eindhoven is called the city of light? Is it because of the Philips and bulb industry, or because there is a light tower in the city centre or because of the lights that you can see from the cosmos?
