Competition for Green Urban Spaces in Amsterdam

Urban space can be employed for multiple functions which, in many cases, leads to a competition for urban space. In a compact city like Amsterdam, for example, space for green spaces and food production is often under threat from plans for residential areas and infrastructures. Prof. Arnold van der Valk will discuss how urban planners deal with competition for space, how this competition plays out in practice, and what roles citizens have in co-creating green urban spaces. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Describe adaptation; robustness and/or intervention strategies for STE systems. DURATION: 1 short video (~7 min long)

Resilience in Delta Cities

Resilience in the context of urbanizing delta cities refers to urban planning and design, which should integrate and balance diverse values of water. It is essential to develop resilience thinking with the understanding of history and the local context. This lecture demonstrates how a resilient urban system worked in ancient China and its transitions with an empirical study. Future planning strategies should not only integrate different values of water for a robust economy, a vital society, and a livable environment, but also deal with the changing contexts and great uncertainties.
