We conducted interviews to understand the needs and desires of the people and define users and potential clients. The interviews have shown that there are two separate realities within the city.
At the same time, residents have said that they want to regain unity and participation.
In the end we want to keep in mind the users point of view, so we will also hear the residents of TU North and possibly the student associations of TU.

2. Heleen Bothof & Pieter Delleman (residents association)
Heleen is an architect who studied at TU Delft, now she is part of the residents association to improve TU North area in which she lives and works. Pieter Delleman is also a board member of the residents interest group. interview
3. Michael van der Meer (Science Center, TU Delft)
Michael is the director of the Science Center, and as such has influence on TU related things that go on in the area, especially outwards. He validates our idea's in the interview on getting rid of the roads and confirmed idea's on expanding the program of the science center.
4. Students & Teachers
In the video interviews it can be seen that some of the students do not know that there is a park at all... This requires a larger notable (physical) impact of the park on the area. Also it has been said that it can function as an impulse to the entire university when it has some additional (different) styles of program are introduced.
