Rotterdam Tarwewijk, a resilient neighborhood? A case studyBart Litjens
A case study exploring citizen participation and citizen engagement in Tarwewijk, a so called 'priority neighborhood' located in the city of Rotterdam (the Netherlands).
Combinations of difficult issues present themselves in this neighborhood like high unemployment, impoverishment, poverty, school dropout, integration and crime. Despite sustained attention and significant investments, the local and national administration have not been able to gain sufficient control of these intractable issues in ‘priority neighborhoods’. How about personal responsibility and active citizen participation? Can Tarwewijk become an example of a resilient neighborhood? This case study provides lessons and insights.
This case study is part of New Synthesis Project. An international partnership of institutions and individuals who are dedicated to advancing the study and practices of public administration.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Broyhill McLean Estates Neighborhood Stormwater Improvement Project
Capital Facilities/Utilities Design and Construction Division/Transportation and Stormwater Construction Branch
Description:
The Broyhill McLean Estates neighborhood stormwater improvement project was substantially completed on August
12, 2016, on time and within budget. This is one of the County’s first “Green Street” projects that includes the
installation of green stormwater infrastructure (GSIs) practices within a road right-of-way to manage previously
uncontrolled stormwater runoff. The GSI practices include a series of bioretention cells, infiltration swales and natural
channel design techniques that reduce and treat runoff from 26.5 acres of land with approximately 10 acres of
impervious surfaces (driveways, roof tops and roads) within this residential community. These facilities help improve
water quality and reduce the erosive energy of stormwater runoff before it discharges to the local stream, Dead Run.
The estimated water quality benefits realized by this project will be the removal of approximately 5 lbs./year of total
phosphorus, 28 lbs./year of total nitrogen and 799 lbs./year of total suspended solids.
Project Overview:
• Coordination of utility relocation
• Replacement of culverts
• Construction of stabilized swales with imbricated rock structures
• Creation of three (3) off-line bioretention facilities and infiltration swales
• Landscaping with native plants
Project Team:
• Stormwater Planning and Design – John Palmer
• Utilities Design and Construction Division (UDCD) – Chris Triolo
• Project Inspector, UDCD – Kenny Giles
