9. Part II: Floating City IJmeer

10. National objectives Anticipation on climate change Development the knowledge-based economy Sustainability Analysis

11. Analysis Anticipation on climate change 1900 1970 2005

12. 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

13. Development of knowledge-based economy Analysis

14. 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)

15. Analysis • Parasitic behavior of cities • IN: OUT: • Water Waste • Energy Heat • Space CO2 • Materials Water depletion • Food Nutrients

16. Analysis Characteristics Sustainable Water City • Source control • Utilization of local resources • Limit use of space-> combine functions • Use outgoing flows

17. 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? Intermezzo Bron: Stuurgroep Verkenning IJmeer

18. Regional issues Amsterdam -Almere Mobility Housing shortage Strengthening economic axis Almere-Amsterdam-Schiphol Important bird migration route Development of recreation and tourism Analysis

19. 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 Strategy

20. Floating city IJmeer Innovative  transferring knowledge into practice Building technology: floating base Sustainable energy: local heat storage Water technology: decentralized approach Concept Bron, Rijcken,2003 Bron: Deerns Bron: KIWA Water Research

21. Building Technology Kuijper, 2006

22. Mobility Floating highway Metro to Zuidas and Almere Water taxi Almere Amsterdam Concept

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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 Concept

28. 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 From vision to reality

29. What’s next? Form vision to reality Transitiemanagement cyclus (Kemp en Loorbach, 2004)
