Deltacompetition
What was it about?
• 125th anniversary of Royal
Haskoning
• International competion for
students (Phd, MSc, BSc)
• Developing innovative solutions
for deltas all over the world
Deltacompetition

Analysis
National objectives
• Anticipation on climate change
• Development the knowledge-based economy
• Sustainability
Analysis
Anticipation on climate change
1900
1970
2005
Analysis
Possible strategy
• Optimization: stronger dikes and damage
reduction
• System innovation: Experimenting with types
of to urbanization which do not increase
expected risk (chance x damage)
Example: Floating residential area
Analysis
Development of knowledge-based economy
Analysis
Development of knowledge-based economy
• Lisbon objectives: focus on science, technology and
sustainability for further economic growth (EC,2003)
• But: net migration of educated people to the US (EC,
2003)
• Region of Amsterdam the 11th place on investments
in R&D in Europe (Region Randstad, 2005)

Source control
Utilization of local resources
Limit use of space-> combine functions
Use outgoing flows
Intermezzo
Why Amsterdam - Almere
as case?
• High demand on space
because of multiplicity of
competing functions
• The Dutch north wing is
of national importance
• Room for innovation?

Analysis
Regional issues Amsterdam Almere
• Mobility
• Housing shortage
• Strengthening economic axis
Almere-Amsterdam-Schiphol
• Important bird migration route
• Development of recreation and
tourism
Strategy
Picture perfect development in this region
• Contributes to innovation
• Managing mobility and housing shortage
• Reinforces ecological structure
• Reinforces economical project as ‘de Zuidas’
• Attraction for tourism
• Potential for water recreation
Concept
Floating city IJmeer
• Innovative transferring
knowledge into practice
– Building technology: floating base
– Sustainable energy: local heat
storage
– Water technology: decentralized
approach

Concept
• Mobility
– Floating highway
– Metro to Zuidas
and Almere
– Water taxi Almere
Amsterdam
Concept
Floating city IJmeer
• Anticipate on climate change
– Urbanizing without increasing risk
– Gaining experience with alternative options
urbanization provides diversity for society
• Ecology
– Reinforcement ecological structure by large-scale
construction of wetlands
Concept
Floating city IJmeer
• Tourism and recreation
– Workshop ‘geuzentrots in het
waterbeheer’: Make
something a Chinese would
want to photograph himself
with!’
– Numerous possibilities for
water recreation
Concept
Floating city IJmeer
• Economy
– Succes of Zuidas project as
European no 1. location
depends also on availability
high-quality housing locations
– Exporting of Delta
technology by demonstrating
it first on the home market
From vision to reality
What’s next ?
• Involving stakeholders
–
–
–
–
–
Ministeries (V&W,EZ, VROM)
Provinces (North-Holland, Flevoland)
Municipalities (Amsterdam, Almere)
Public utilities
Private parties (builders, developers, inhabitants)
• Formulating and working out research agenda
Form vision to reality
What’s next?
