12
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

13
Analysis

• Development of knowledge-based economy

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 RD in Europe (Region Randstad, 2005)

Analysis
Characteristics Sustainable Water City

• Source control
• Utilization of local resources
• Limit use of space-gt combine functions
• Use outgoing flows

17
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?

From vision to reality

• Whats next ?
• Involving stakeholders
• Ministeries (VW,EZ, VROM)
• Provinces (North-Holland, Flevoland)
• Municipalities (Amsterdam, Almere)
• Public utilities
• Private parties (builders, developers,
  inhabitants)
• Formulating and working out research agenda
