However, what binds the team at AMRP together are the principles of actor-relational governance and complexity sensitive research. These principles have proven to be a powerful tool to open up the planning landscape for new actors, new relations, and new approaches. These attempts to open the planning landscape up by employing these principles have not been limited to this AMRP group. Over the past 15 years, a group of researchers conducted project-related and theoretical work on a wide variety of spatial planning issues within Flanders, the Netherlands, and beyond. This book brings this rich body of research together, explores the con- sistencies in its insights, addresses future challenges in actor-relational and complexity-sensitive planning research, and discusses its potential for future planning in the Eurodelta region. The aim of the book is twofold: first, the book functions as exposure to the current legacy of the actor-relational approach. In this ‘showcase’ you will find applications of the approach related to climate change, housing markets, public transport, urban regeneration heritage, and so on. Second, the book functions as a springboard for actor-relational and complexity-sensitive research planning and practice in the future. With the compilation of texts in this book, we as editors did not aim to be com- prehensive. Instead, the objective was to provide a wide range of perspectives that would be inspirational for planners, urbanists, theorists, students, stake- holders, etc. Therefore, the structure of the book is organized thematically, according to the main ingredients of the approach—namely actors, relations, and approaches. This thematic ordering clarifies the coherence but equally allows the reader to move in a non-linear way through the book. Moreover, there are boxes accompanying several texts which provide a ‘taster’ of the con- tribution and offer short in-depth elaborations of the specific topic by highlight- ing examples, methods or remarkable results. Next to the main corpus of texts, an article on the planning context and two more reflective essays supplement the three chapters (actor, relation, approach) as intermezzos. 6 OPENING UP THE PLANNING LANDSCAPE 7 PREFACE BEITSKE BOONSTRA, PETER DAVIDS & ANNELIES STAESSEN The introduction chapter contains a theoretical and a contextual introduc- tions in these chapters elaborate on the entangled complexity and interdepen- tion. The theoretical section discusses the main features of the actor-relational dencies of various spatial systems. An intermezzo reflects on how to translate approach, as a way to open planning practices for new actors, new focal points, these stories into everyday language. new business models, new governance models for spatial developments. The chapter argues how the actor-relational approach helps planning systems in The chapters in Part 3 (Approach) discuss new methods for planners with Flanders, the Netherlands, and perhaps even planning systems in general, methods that are based on notions such as self-organization, co-evolution, to reach beyond their own defaults and path-dependencies and open up for and actor-networks. Methods typically include Living Labs. This part of the complexity and dynamics in a world of undefined becoming. This chapter book also reflects on (Flemish) planning instruments,

  • St Boniface Antwerpen

    St Boniface Antwerpen

    St Boniface Antwerpen A history of the Anglican Church in Antwerp Introduction St. Boniface Church has roots going back to the 16th Century, deep into Antwerp's history and that of Anglicanism. Antwerp then was a metropolis of world class, the most important trading and financial centre in Western Europe, as a seaport, the spice trade, money and wool markets. There are many paths down which one can go in this history of the Church. In 2010, our church celebrated its centenary and work on much needed major repairs, to preserve the heritage of this beautiful Church, commenced. A few years ago, St. Boniface became a recognized State Monument, but even before that it was, and is, always open for pre-arranged visits and conducted tours. Prior to April 1910, the British Community's Services were held at the "Tanner's Chapel" loaned to them by the authorities, and named from the French "Chapelle des Tanneurs" (Huidevettersstraat), after the street of that name, and this remained the Anglican Church in Antwerp from 1821 until St. Boniface was built and consecrated. Building St. Boniface in the Grétrystraat The history of St. Boniface as it now stands began on June 23rd, 1906, in the presence of a large number of Belgian and British notables, when the foundation stone of the Church was laid with much ceremony, by the British Minister to Belgium, Sir Arthur Hardinge. This ceremony was followed by a public lunch at which more than 70 persons were present and where acknowledgement was made of the debt owed by the community to Mr.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

    THE IMPACT OF THE EXTENSION OF THE PEDESTRIAN ZONE IN THE CENTRE OF BRUSSELS ON MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND PUBLIC SPACE Imre Keserü, Mareile Wiegmann, Sofie Vermeulen, Geert te Boveldt, Ewoud Heyndels & Cathy Macharis VUB-MOBI – BSI-BCO Original Research EN Since 2015, the Brussels pedestrian zone has been extended along boulevard Anspach. What impact did this have on travel and visiting behaviour, the perceived accessibility of the centre, and the quality of its public space? Brussel Mobiliteit (Brussels Capital Region) commissioned a large-scale follow-up survey to VUB-MOBI & the BSI-BCO to answer this question and monitor the effects before and after the renewal works. Brussels Metropolitan Area (BMA) inhabitants, city-centre employees and pedestrian zone visitors were questioned. This paper presents the most important findings from the 4870 respondents of the pre-renewal survey. A more detailed analysis will be available in the full research report (forthcoming, VUB-MOBI – BSI-BCO & Brussel- Mobiliteit). In general, more respondents were in support of a car-free Blvd Anspach than against it. Most visitors go to the new pedestrian zone for leisure-related purposes. Overall, the users are also mostly regular visitors, including inhabitants of the city centre and other Brussels inhabitants. In terms of appreciation of public space, the most problematic aspects are cleanliness and safety concerns whether during the day or by night. Furthermore, 36% of the BMA respondents stated that the closure for cars has influenced their choice of transport when going to the city-centre. Many of them use public transport more often. Lastly, the authors put forward recommendations to improve the pedestrian zone considering the survey’s results.

This book covers the linguistic picture of Flemish everyday life-world that is ap- proached from the point of view of the language structures typical for tussentaal (Flemish interlanguage), a spoken variety of Belgian Dutch. The study’s focus lies in finding those features of tussentaal that provide an image of daily reality and by means of which the speaker can model it in accordance with their needs. For the pur- poses of this research, a corpus of ten Flemish movies (approx. 18 hours of recordings, 83.000 words) has been put together. The movie dialogues are examined within the methodological framework of ethnolinguistics.

    NEO-LATIN DRAMA in the LOW COUNTRIES Jan Bloemendal The

    CHAPTER FIVE NEO-LATIN DRAMA IN THE LOW COUNTRIES Jan Bloemendal The Low Countries as a Historical, Religious and Literary Melting Pot Between c. 1500 and 1750 some hundreds of Latin plays were written, staged and printed in the Low Countries from south to north.1 Some of them had a huge international resonance, witness the many editions and performances all over Europe. In the selection of ten representative biblical dramas printed by Nicolaus Brylinger in Basel in 1541, seven of them were written by authors from the Low Countries, which were a lead- ing region in drama in the sixteenth century. However, speaking of the ‘Low Countries’ involves some geographical difficulties. The early mod- ern territory encompassed roughly the area that now comprises the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, small parts of Germany and some parts of northern France.2 The area was divided into rather autonomous provinces, while the cities had their own forms of autonomy. The rulers confirmed their dominion by magnificent ‘Joyous Entries’ (‘Blijde Intredes’) in the cities, mainly in the southern provinces, which formed the eco- nomic heart in the beginning of the sixteenth century. With approximately 2.5 million inhabitants, the Low Countries were highly urbanized. The Protestant Reformation, which, starting with Martin Luther in the 1510s and 1520s, would ‘divide Europe’s House’, also divided the Habsburg rulers and the Low Countries. While both parties had conflicting interests and conflicting religious convictions, Emperor Charles V (1500–1558) and his successor Philip II (1527–1598) tried to stop the spread of ‘heretical’ 1 For a list of Dutch plays, see IJsewijn, ‘Annales Theatri Belgo-Latini’.
