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)

R-link: Deciding on the Use of Public Space

In Arnold van der Valk’s video about the Buttercup Farm in Amsterdam, we saw an example of the competition for urban space that can arise when space is limited. We also saw how the different stakeholders can have very different ideas and visions on how a plot of land should be used. The R-Link research-project studies this topic. In the next video, Dr. Melika Levelt (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) will introduce a method from the R-Link project that takes into account the different views of stakeholders in urban space development. Melika will explain how this ‘stakeholder canvas’ may help stakeholders to ask each other the right questions, to identify new stakeholders, and to visualize views and visions in a coherent and helpful manner. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Describe adaptation; robustness and/or intervention strategies for STE systems. DURATION: 1 short video (~5 min long)

E-Learning Module Urban Green Spaces

The University of Twente ITC together with Tropenbos Suriname developed this e-module on urban green spaces in the tropics in the context, and using the results, of their UTSN Twinning project on "Towards a green and more livable Paramaribo". With this e-module we aim to provide access to quality learning material for Surinamese and Dutch MSc students and other learners. This e- module is designed to be used in two ways, i) within a course, introducing students to the subject of urban green benefits and management. ii) as stand-alone short course. The module is entirely self-study and can be followed without an internet connection. Cite as: Schwarz. N. and Willemen L., 2021.

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.

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.

Landscapes | Contested GM Worldviews - (Andrew Flachs)

An article in Scientific American (https://edu.nl/4r6q7) bringing a science and technology studies lens to Genetically Modified Organisms, provoked louder than normal responses from the pro biotech crowd. What can we learn from the exchange? Dr Andrew Flachs, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University, studied the role of seeds on farmer livelihoods in rural India as part of his book, Cultivating Knowledge. We discuss the arguments of the article and its malcontents to try and reach a broader understanding of what this debate is really about. Episode Links Andrew Flachs personal website.
