History for urban regeneration: a new perspective. The PRG (Masterplan) ‘08 of the Municipality of Rome

Imperfect portrayal of a friend

Throughout his career, Herman van Bergeijk built his own unique expertise on the Dutch 19th and early 20th century architectural history.

Invitations for keynotes and lectures or courses keep reaching him, and he will continue to teach and write.
