Het doel van deze dissertatie is om meer inzicht te verkrijgen in de waardering door de verschillende groepen bewoners van wijken waar herstructurering heeft plaatsgevonden en de mechanismen die daarbij een rol spelen. Hoe waarderen bewoners met verschillende levenswijzen hun veranderde en veranderende buurt en wijk? Het gaat daarbij om de invloed van twee krachten die gelijktijdig op de buurt/wijk en de woonwaardering inwerken: de fysieke ingreep in de woningvoorraad door sloop-nieuwbouw en ...

The final selected papers were subjected to the regular double-blind review process of the journal. Wit...

The role of the designer in flood risk management strategy development is currently often restricted to the important but limited task of optimally embedding technical interventions, which are themselves derivatives of system level flood risk strategies that are developed at an earlier stage, in their local surroundings. During this thesis research, an integrated approach is developed in which spatial quality can already be included in the regional flood risk management strategy development a...

While agglomerations along the Rhine are confronted with the uncertainties of an increasing flood risk due to climate change, different programs are claiming urban river front sites. Simultaneously, urban development, flood management, as well as navigation and environmental protection are negotiating the border between the river and the urban realm. This produces complex spatial constellations between the river system and the urban realm with a diverse set of interdependencies, where program...

Since 1978, urban redevelopment in China has resulted in large-scale neighbourhood demolition and forced residential relocation, which can severely disrupt established people-place interactions in the demolished neighbourhoods. This issue of A+BE conceptualises forced relocation as a process and as a specific type of residential mobility that occurs in the context of urban restructuring. It suggests a conceptual model to show the sequence of events that households experience

during urban rede...
