In this thesis, you landscapes by using the existing landscape and its processes. Now, will find the result. we are able to end our study with this thesis, which will show what we have learned in this phase of our lifetime. We would never have been able to finish this thesis without some people though. Foremost we would like to thank Ingrid Duchhart, We have chosen for a thesis that focuses on water and urban our supervisor. Without her assistance and positive attitude, it would landscapes. Living in a densely populated delta country facing a have been a lot harder to finish this thesis. We thank her for the time changing climate does give some incentives to do so. But the fact that she spent on us, especially since it might have exceeded the that we both have affinity with water might also have been a reason. time that is granted by university rules. We also thank Roel Dijksma We both believe that the old method of flood-protection is not the for the hydrological input during this thesis. We thank Maaike Bos best way to cope with the changing climate. During our study, we for her matter-of-fact approach and structural advice on the subject. have become aware that working with the natural processes instead We would like to thank the people of Rijkswaterstaat, which we of working against them will have far better result. Therefore, this could always contact for hydrological questions and data.

This might ask for a complete change idea of public servants. We thank our family for their comforting and in culture, but it might be worth it. financial support. We thank our friends for their critical advice and positive support during this thesis. And last but not least we thank We started this thesis with a positive attitude, but halfway through our girlfriends. They always took care of us and they have been an it became very grim. We became aware that our goal could not anchor of rest and hope during this hectic period, even tough they be reached in the way we had envisioned it. Our plans of making had to put up with grumpy, absent-minded and tired boyfriends. beautiful streets and parks that at the same time could protect the people against floods could not be realised. It simply would not solve In return, we hope we can all impress and inspire you with this the problem. This has been a real eye-opener for us. For the first thesis! time we became aware that just because it is possible to envision a solution to a problem, this does not mean that such a solution Johnny Boers & Simon Pille 7 8 Abstract In the future the Meuse valley in Limburg will face higher water levels because of climate change. The dikereefs of Limburg have stated that the current dike system has reached its limit and the safety of the inhabitants of urban landscapes in the floodplain of the Meuse cannot be guaranteed during an expected river discharge of 4600 m3/s. Other approaches of dealing with the predicted amount of water have to be investigated. Dikes cannot be heightened endlessly and they only reduce the chance of flooding, instead of the risk of flooding. We envision that the flood risk of the urban landscapes has to be reduced and flood-resilience was expected to do so. We researched by designing whether it was possible to replace the current dike system by an ultimate flood-resilient system. These designs were assessed with calculations, thereby giving the potentials of: • Parks and streets as storage basins and bypasses respectively. • Large scale interventions in the urban landscape like large basins and bypasses. • Flood-resilient adaptations of buildings in the floodplain. However, the space that is required to construct basins and bypasses with the required capacity exceeds the area of the urban landscape. In case of the building adaptations, the flow speeds and water levels in case of flooding were too high and the constructions would be damaged. Furthermore, the surrounding urban space would become a dangerous area in case of flooding. So the conclusion had to be that ultimate flood-resilience in the valley of the Meuse cannot be a good replacement of the current chance-reducing interventions. Next, we investigated if flood-resilience could enhance the current chance-reducing approach. This also proved to be impossible, because the expected water levels and flow speeds remained too high. Therefore, the conclusion had to be that flood-resilience can not cope with the expected discharges in the current landscape of the Meuse valley. We then searched possible other approaches that could guarantee a safe living environment in the Meuse floodplain. The only option that remained after this search is raising the urban landscapes, with as result several mounds in the floodplain of the Meuse. By law, the height of the mounds is limited to the height of the current dikes, because they would raise water levels further upstream otherwise. Consequently, the mounds can still flood when the middle scenario of the KNMI becomes reality. Therefore, flood-resilient interventions need to be applied on top of the mound, which can now be done because of the lower water levels and flow speeds. Several design suggestions for such urban landscapes are presented in this thesis.

It was founded in 1959 by the engineer and architect René Greisch and currently has a staff of over 170 across its six companies (beg, bgroup, gi, gce, Neo-Ides and canevas). This large team is always open to collaborative ventures and carries out complex assignments in a wide variety of fields. Through his interest in both architecture and the structural design of buildings, René Greisch instilled in his team the spirit of research and innovation on which its reputation among architects has been built, leading to numerous collaborative ventures with some of the top names. Bureau Greisch also has its own archi- tectural unit (canevas) in order to create an atmosphere where engineers are constantly questioning and searching for new solutions, both formal and technical. This spirit of teamwork and cooperation, a quest for synergy and collaboration, innovation allied to ima- gination, and a questioning and dynamic approach have become the methods and principles by which Bureau Greisch works. René Greisch’s approach is embodied in a desire for perfection, in which a work is constantly refined and polished up to the very last moment.

    Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium Bruce Donaldson bron Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium. Uitgeverij Martinus Nijhoff, Leiden 1983 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/dona001dutc02_01/colofon.php © 2013 dbnl / Bruce Donaldson II To my mother Bruce Donaldson, Dutch. A linguistic history of Holland and Belgium VII Preface There has long been a need for a book in English about the Dutch language that presents important, interesting information in a form accessible even to those who know no Dutch and have no immediate intention of learning it. The need for such a book became all the more obvious to me, when, once employed in a position that entailed the dissemination of Dutch language and culture in an Anglo-Saxon society, I was continually amazed by the ignorance that prevails with regard to the Dutch language, even among colleagues involved in the teaching of other European languages. How often does one hear that Dutch is a dialect of German, or that Flemish and Dutch are closely related (but presumably separate) languages? To my knowledge there has never been a book in English that sets out to clarify such matters and to present other relevant issues to the general and studying public.1. Holland's contributions to European and world history, to art, to shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering, bulb growing and cheese manufacture for example, are all aspects of Dutch culture which have attracted the interest of other nations, and consequently there are numerous books in English and other languages on these subjects. But the language of the people that achieved so much in all those fields has been almost completely neglected by other nations, and to a degree even by the Dutch themselves who have long been admired for their polyglot talents but whose lack of interest in their own language seems never to have disturbed them.

Most of the chapters were composed in a fourth floor apartment on the west side of Amsterdam in the sunless winter of 2009-2010 and the slightly less gloomy spring of 2010. Distractions from the work included Sudoku puzzles, European girls, and Eurosport broadcasts of the Winter Olympics on a used television with a recurring sound glitch. This dissertation is the product of my mind and its faults are my responsibility, but the final product represents the work and activity of many who helped me along the way.
