Amsterdam Rainproof: Water Management

In Amsterdam, Waternet is the responsible organisation for ensuring a safe and healthy urban environment and a water system that is able to cope with the expected changes in weather conditions due to climate change. How do they address these challenges? Let’s ask Daniël Goedbloed, program manager Amsterdam Rainproof at Waternet, to find out how Waternet works in a city that will be able to cope with more intense rainfall events. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 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)

Water Management Challenges in Amsterdam

Now you have an overall idea of the urban water system of Amsterdam, and the stakeholders involved in managing this system. Now, let’s find out which challenges water managers are facing in Amsterdam and other Delta cities. Frans van de Ven will share with you two of the main public interests in urban water management and indicate which challenges are emerging. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Explain shocks and stresses on critical services and infrastructures (CSIs) of STE systems resulting from a range of disastrous events. DURATION: 1 short video (~6 min long)

Pluvial floods in Rotterdam-2

Rotterdam, a city located at the delta region and only 35 km to the sea, suffers from increasingly frequent intensive rainfall due to the climate change. The pluvial flood it causes overwhelms the urban drainage system first and then damages the transport systems. Residential and industrial infrastructures in the city and local ecology will be influenced as well. Ethically, it causes anxiety and conflictions among citizens, even triggers people’s unsatisfaction and denouncement. Solutions provided here focus on urban drainage and discharge system, water retention facilities, infiltration zones/ green spaces, protection of vulnerable infrastructures and government regulations. This report consists of seven parts: introduction to pluvial flood, affected parts of urban networks, condition till 2050 under climate change, ethical consequences, solution strategies, ethical implications of solutions and effect monitor.

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.
