Sponge City in China

In the previous video, you saw that Chinese cities are facing both water quality and water quantity challenges. Safety in case of flooding -”dry feet” – and a healthy environment are thus also key water management challenges here. However, considering the local Chinese circumstances, such as the urbanization rate, the challenges are of a rather different magnitude than those in Amsterdam. So, how about the solutions to tackle these challenges? In the next video dr. Haifeng Jia will introduce you to the Sponge City Concept that is being implemented as an answer to the urban water management challenges in China. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Explain shocks and stresses on critical services and infrastructures (CSIs) of STE systems resulting from a range of disastrous events. DURATION: 1 short video (~ 8 min long)

Food Shortage in Maputo

There are a wide range of shocks and stresses influencing the resilience of Maputo's food supply. Food security, which is vital to the well-being of the city, can be improved upon in numerous ways, such as through proper irrigation and control of the soil quality and water supply. The resilience of the food supply may shift in the future due to factors like climate change, as well as actions taken by governments, organizations, and individuals.

Clip2b: Atmospheric Humidity

Well water in its many phases plays a crucial role in the atmosphere as well as in the climate in this clip I will explain the essential properties of water vapor and the different ways to express the amount of humidity in the air. Let's start by making an important distinction between a gas and a vapor. The clip relates to the course Introduction Atmosphere (MAQ-10306; https://ssc.wur.nl/Handbook/Course/MAQ-10306).

Droughts in Rotterdam

With Climate Change, the frequency and intensity of droughts hitting the city of Rotterdam is increasing with time. 2019 was the third consecutive dry year in a row. With drought, comes a number of problems such as low water level in the Maas river which is the biggest source of drinking water for the city of Rotterdam (80%) and it effects the water quality, reduction in shipping capacity, weakening of dikes, salt intrusion, lowering of groundwater level which could lead to subsidence, etc. A concept map provided in the report highlights the STE (Social, Technological & Ecological) impacts of droughts on the city of Rotterdam. Possible solution practices include increasing the infiltration capacity of the city through blue-green networks, bioswales, vertical gardens, spraying water on dikes, building rainwater harvesting and storage infrastructure. Importance should also be given to the ethical implications of the solution strategies and also the usage of monitoring techniques to help mitigate any adverse effects of a potential disaster. The report also includes some links for further reading which covers a wide horizon of topics related to the effect and mitigation of droughts on the city of Rotterdam and the scope of public private responsibilities for climate change.

Ethiek & Duurzaamheid

In deze korte video uit het pakket Werken met Generatieve AI geven studenten op straat hun mening over ethische vraagstukken rond AI. Vervolgens leggen experts uit wat ethiek bij AI betekent, hoe vooroordelen in data kunnen leiden tot bias en ongelijkheid, en welke impact AI heeft op het gebruik van energie en water. De video laat zien dat niet alles wat technisch mogelijk is ook wenselijk is en stimuleert kritisch nadenken over verantwoord AI-gebruik.

Integrated Infrastructure Design Guide

Infrastructure forms the backbone of our society – from roads and railways to waterworks and ports – as critical part of vital systems for mobility, water and space. But that backbone is under strain. Ageing systems, climate change and scarce resources force us to rethink fundamentally how we design, use and value infrastructure. This Design Guide starts with one urgent question: how can we make infrastructure future-proof in a world of uncertainty? It introduces integrated approaches in which design, engineering, policy and societal value come together through a wide range of inspiring examples related to urban and regional accessibility and development, spatial quality, flood protection, and ecological restoration. The book demonstrates how infrastructure can be more than merely a functional system. It becomes a driver of societal value and prosperity, and a strategic instrument that connects quality of life, sustainability and economic development. This Design Guide offers a clear conceptual framework to understand and design infrastructure that is not only more efficient, but also more sustainable, inclusive and meaningful. Drawn from thematical insights and lessons, and applicable methods, techniques and strategies by a broad range of scientists and professionals of practice with a background architecture, urban development and design, landscape architecture, civil engineering, economics, governance or policy. A substantial and indispensable guide for designers, engineers and policymakers committed to shaping the infrastructure and the society of tomorrow.

Amsterdam: Integrated solutions and inclusive governance in a smart city

HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CASE STUDY: First, please refer to the Teacher's Guide using the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. The teacher's guide outlines the purpose, contents, approach, case structure, and technical information of this case study. This case study was curated from other independently published open educational resources and from existing materials on this platform. These resources are also organized by domain. At the bottom of each resource's page, you can see both the city case study and SURF Resilience domain to which it belongs. Click on the case study or the domain name to navigate to the case study homepage or SURF Resilience collection, respectively. OVERVIEW: This case study contains a teaching guide, seven thematic foci, and a gaming simulation. In the first thematic focus, you will discover the dynamics of co-creation across multiple sectors such as air, smart grids, energy, mobility, green spaces, and water. In 'Amsterdam's Air Quality,' you will visit NGOs like the Waag Society where citizens use art, science, and technology to help address air pollution. Then, you will see how big data and the use of ICT may make aspects of life in Amsterdam more sustainable in 'Smart & Livable Cities.' You will learn how citizens help guard against the disappearance of green spaces, traveling to a buttercup farm where you will see how conflicting visions by different stakeholders are integrated to develop urban spaces. Finally, you will discover how a low-lying city like Amsterdam copes with intensifying rainfall in the 'Water Management & Climate Change' theme and learn about agent-based modelling for resilience. To experience this interdependence of different sectors, play the urban resilience game at the end of this set. You will see how disasters impact the urban system and experience the consequences of your choices on how to protect the city.
