The Challenge: how to solve the water and
the spatial economic social problem ?
4 december 2007 Titel van de presentatie
What did we do? Mastercase approach
1. Research; facts and figures
240.000 m3
Extra waterstorage for 2050 in city centre and “old
city neigbourhoods”
4 december 2007 Titel van de presentatie
Use the water problems to help solving social,
economic, spatial problems
In Rotterdam there is a need for: safety,
quality housing, good public space, good
economy!

Conclusions
cityproblems
waterproblems
We can use the threat of water for strenghtening the
main ambitions of Rotterdam:
Water is a chance for a more attatractive city
Do it together let it be a plan ‘from’ and ‘for’ them….

From technical solutions to a spatial strategy

Projectproposal:
To go from the list of techincal solutions to a
tailor-made integrated spatial strategy for our city we have
a Projectproposal on mitagation and sustainability
’after’ GRIP/euco2 as this is a crucial step!
Interreg IVB
Mastercase methodology like we
did for water adaptation
500.000 - 1.000.000
Submit in june 2008
5-6 partners
•
it’s a next step
•
probably more cities already involved
in other climate projects
•
we can all share outcomes using
METREX as a platform
•
other cities than metrex are involved
so…. potentially can join the grip 100
Might this be an idea for other
EU-regions?

What is your city plan or vision?
Available in most cities
2. Facts and figures of energy types, use and consumption in each part of
the city
Available via GRIP, or other method
3. Tailormade vision and implementationstrategy for your own city on
different scales
.
Master Case Methodology
.
used for Rotterdam adaptation strategy, very successful!

4 december 2007 Titel van de presentatie
From GRIP Methodology to a Sustainable City
.
We have to know present emissions factors and which separate
solutions have the biggest impact
THE GRIP APPROACH IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS
In cities many separate solutions for CO2 reduction for traffic,
housing, new dwellings, etc
.
Our proposal: creating a local VISION and implementation
STRATEGY plus pilotprojects about a new energy future,
integrated in a spatial, economic and social setting.
INTERREG IVB NorthWest Europe (NWE)

Challenge
Many city action plans with quick wins and short term actions
Three challenges:
1. Create vision, together with an implementation strategy
often lacking and no relation with adoptation programme
2. Not reducing CO2 as goal in itself
should be linked to innovation capacities and increase of attractive
values
