  1. Unraveling a heterogeneous delta system:‘Integral Planning and Design in the southwest Delta’ (IPDD) Deltanet Conference, October 22th 2012, Gent (BE) session ‘Policy processes’ dr. BonnoPel, Erasmus University Rotterdam (NL), Dep. Public Administration, Governance of Complex Systems

  2. Contents • The Southwest Delta and itscomplexity • IPDD: Interdisciplinary methodic for integrative planning/design delta areas • Southwest Delta as Complex system • Disclosingdiversity: Towardscomplexity-sensitivespatialconcepts • Preliminary findings & implications

  3. The Southwest Delta and itscomplexity • Marine & fluvialdynamics: Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt • Major seaports: Antwerpen, Rotterdam • Highlyindustrialized • Denselypopulated (at the rim) • Floodingrisks • Ecological/economic challenges • Multiple coinciding dynamics www.deltanet-project.eu/rhine-meuse-and-scheldt

  4. IPDD: Interdisciplinary methodic for integrative planning/design delta areas • Complex system, knowledge integration needed. • Beyond: • …technocratic spatial design/planning • …uninformed governance, lacking vision • …irrelevant geodata • Towards integrative methodic delta management/planning/design Spatial design • IPDD Governance Geo-info

  5. Southwest Delta as Complex system; layers & subsysteminteractions Harbours, industry Recreation, tourism Occupations layer Agriculture Urban structure Energy Networks layer Hydro-infra Transport Ecosystems Base layer (Substrate) Soil & water General societal trends

  6. Systems thinking; organizing thematic maps IPDD Systems thinking: Cyclical research activities in 1. Historical transitions analysis 2. Futures scanning 3. Development regional spatial concepts 4. Urban design in focal areas 5. Internat. comparison delta areas IPDD methodic

  7. Disclosingdiversity: Towardscomplexity-sensitivespatialconcepts Complex delta integrated solutions needed! Yet heterogeneous system, multiple governance actors, diverse system understandings, focused on • Particular subsystems • Local/regional/national/supranational level • Short/Middle/Long term • Particular problems/challenges/solutions disclosure of diversityfordevelopmentcomplexity-sensitivespatialconcepts

  8. Diversity in transition: Preliminary findings & implications • High- and low-dynamicareaswithin delta; transitioningandconservingconceptsneeded? • Urban-industrial ‘horseshoe’, blue-green central area: An urban-biased outsiders’ view? • Multiple urgencies(Flooding, safety in petrochem. complex, economy, ecology, demography): Multiple-urgency responses possible? • National flood risk management, regional/localdevelopmentambitions: Basins as appropriate design units? • Fragmentedresponsibilities, but alsolocalcollaborations: Institutionalredesignneeded, but towhatextent & where?

  9. Discussion • IPDD Systems perspective: Added value or added confusion? • This disclosure of diversity, does it correspond with your view of the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta? • To what extent are experiences in other delta areas different? • And what could be diversity’spractical implications for governance, spatial planning and design of delta areas?
