The document describes an international design competition for the Delta City of the Future held in 2010 in Rotterdam. It discusses challenges of urban transformation related to climate change, restructuring residential areas, and providing flexible urban functions. It also describes innovative architectural and urban applications to improve neighborhoods through additional infrastructure components. The competition aimed to design for change and flexible sharing through strategies that consider long, short, and mid term goals for area upgrading.
The document summarizes the benefits and disadvantages that a residential neighborhood can experience from an adjacent flagship development project based on references from Western European cities. Potential benefits include boosting civic pride, raising property values, and generating local economic development and jobs. However, flagship projects can also cause social polarization, fail to benefit deprived neighborhoods equally, and risk high financial costs. The document reviews these strengths and weaknesses to understand how a flagship development in Amsterdam could mutually benefit the adjacent Van der Pekbuurt neighborhood.
The document discusses the importance of incorporating visual art into industrial product design. It argues that visual art is not just about aesthetics, but is a form of human expression that can be applied to engineering products through techniques like incorporating various materials, textures, and artistic compositions. When applied throughout a product's visible and non-visible areas, visual art can help differentiate products, drive consumer experience and consideration, and ultimately empower economies. The document advocates training more engineering designers capable of transforming functional designs into aspirational products through the application of visual art principles.

Fiscal relations across levels of government and regional disparitiesOECD Governance
This document summarizes research on the relationship between fiscal decentralization and regional disparities. The key findings are:
1) Tax decentralization and higher fiscal authority are associated with lower regional disparities, especially for lower income regions, by stimulating sub-national governments to implement more pro-growth policies.
2) Revenue decentralization and higher vertical fiscal imbalances are linked to higher regional disparities.
3) The impact of fiscal decentralization on disparities depends on factors like countries' levels of development and quality of government institutions. Decentralization seems to reduce disparities more in developed countries with higher-quality government.

Changing perspectives
There is a task for planners and designers to develop
new design tools and methods as a need for effective design
in practices and processes of multi stakeholder alliances.
Urban design and building typology
must allow
definition of
flexible ownership in place and in time.

Changing perspectives
Urban design in general has been accepted as key to a better urban
environment. However as we move on, urban design should evolve to create
public space and design to accommodate urban living of
greater sustainability.
Urban design and building typology
must allow
definition of
space ownership and building ownership
in much more flexible ways.

Changing perspectives
Planners and designers are confronted by an increasing variety of
stakeholders, individual people and organisations of people with
shared interest or better, with share desire®.
Planners and designers need to analyse
what these stakeholders value
and
why they would be interested to
participate in the local spatial
agenda on
the search of Sustainable Urban
Form. 18

Actual urban questions:
To match these economical strategies with programmes for design
we need to investigate questions like:
☼ who values and when?
or:
☼ how do we value sustainable projects?

In new scenarios created by complex interactions between stakeholders, Rotterdam
2010
Changing perspectives
public space is the result of complex negotiations that need to be
managed using tools such as:
a. Concept plans and formulas for urban area.
b. System designs for sustainability.
c. Strategic Master plans and definition of Strategic Projects
d. Prototypes of building/ program concepts
And so on..
It is common sense that all parties need each other to realise sustainable
urban space for sustainable urban life of people together.
This ambition is an exciting one meanwhile a never-ending story, the
ever ongoing story of the shared desire that is the vital power for
successful future value.
Urban APPs and ArchAPPs do organise people’s freedom to participate in
the planning and designing of New Urban Forms
while realizing projects together without having to share everything?
How will this be relevant for further practical experiment as well as for
theoretical study?

60. DELTA CITY OF THE FUTURE
International Design Competition
statement 2010 Rotterdam
Changing perspectives
It is the actual need for more sustainable solutions of spatial
problems that raises the ultimate new urban question.
And still, the need for more sustainable solutions of spatial problems
is primarily a fundamental social economical problem
to be reflected on by urban planners and designers
when (re)shaping cities and when calculating urban projects
for the metropolitan.
We notice that urban design culture is shifting
towards a culture of
designing for smart urban life,
eventually..
