Resilient Cities Hub_Session 1_Introduction_by Benjamin Sprecher
- 1. Centre for Sustainability Knowledge and innovation hubs Resilient cities hub
- 2. Resilient cities hub concept • The hub runs a research programme on urban sustainability and resilience – TU Delft: Bouwkunde, TBM en 3ME – Universiteit Leiden: cultural anthropology, industrial ecology, and Environmental Biology – Rotterdam School of Management • Partner organisations provide context and questions, • Students do real-world research (15 last year!)
- 3. Urban resilience – a definition “The ability of an urban system-and all its constituent socio-ecological and socio-technical networks across temporal and spatial scales-to: -maintain or rapidly return to desired functions in the face of a disturbance -to adapt to change, and -to quickly transform systems that limit current or future adaptive capacity.” (Meerow et al. 2016)
- 4. Research focus •Den Haag 2030 sustainability targets •Leiden 2025 circular economy policies Political ambitions • How do you get from building blocks to a coherent city design?Scenarios •Technologies (e.g. solar panels, geothermal) •Methodologies = (e.g. MFA, LCA, GIS) •… Building blocks
- 5. Integration of research • Complementary research questions • Shared work space • Regular meetings • Shared model/data platform (GIS & python)
- 9. Climate adaptation time = 0 min time = 15 min time = 1 h 20 min time = 2 h
- 11. Themes this year • Circular economy (2nd presentation!) • Effect of green space on liveability & resilience (3rd presentation!) • Sustainable mobility & bicycle sharing • Climate adaptation • Energy transition
- 12. Planning 2018-2019 1st semester: • research proposal, finding the right supervisors (university and municipality) • Exploration of resilience literature and other interesting stuff • Bi-weekly or monthly meetings? • Peer feedback buddies • Kick-off knowledge café (December 2018) 2nd semester: • Bi-weekly meetings • Writing course • Mid-term knowledge café • Final symposium & journal!
- 13. Questions? Benjamin Sprecher, Resilient Cities Hub coordinator Sprecher@cml.leidenuniv.nl
Editor's Notes
- Dat laatste slaat heel erg aan trouwens, we hebben 15 studenten dit semester.
- Dat laatste slaat heel erg aan trouwens, we hebben 15 studenten dit semester.
- De essentie hier is niet dat we het met een paar studenten op een individueel onderwerp beter gaan doen dan wat anderen gedaan hebben. Maar het nemen van al die beschikbare kennis en dat condenseren in relatief behapbare modelletjes die modulair in een groter integral model van de stad passen, dat is zeker wel te doen. De modellen zijn generiek, de data is specifiek voor een stad. Dus iemand kan een model maken met Leiden als case study, en dat dan vrij makkelijk voor den haag herhalen. Ik ben van alle studenten eerste of tweede begeleider, daardoor ontstaat er samenhang.
