On 4 March 2019, Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb and Alderman Said Kasmi of the Education, Culture and Tourism department, Rotterdam, received the publication containing the results of the Letters to the Mayor project. This included five short manifestos on the most pressing issues for the city accompanied by the original letters, three critical reflections, reports from public talks, and an image essay by the Rotterdam photographer Rubén Dario Kleimeer.

This first debate from the series Letters to the Mayor will focus on the inclusive city. How can Rotterdam remain open to everyone, and how can the built environment sufficiently represent its inhabitants? Are Rotterdammers being forced out of their city? With guest debaters Eloah Udenhout, Barbara Luns, Dirk van Peijpe, Elma van Boxel and Dirk Osinga. Moderation by Daan Roovers.
