The programme was set up in 2007 to explore the consequences of climate change for the Netherlands and how they should be managed. To that end, an independent foun- dation was established with the objective of “promoting evidence-based and practi- ce-driven knowledge about climate in the public interest, including making that know- ledge available to the public…” (Section 2 of the deed establishing the foundation). The foundation has achieved that objective, together with stakeholders, by organising and funding research and encouraging the processes of knowledge dissemination and application. When the foundation was set up, the fourth Balkenende Government allo- cated it an initial budget of EUR 50m. Over the past seven years, participating national, regional and local authorities, businesses, and research institutes contributed another 30 million euros to that budget. 4 Research programme Knowledge for Climate The present document comprises the report on the as dykes or evacuation.

Introduction Gentrification has become the preferred urban policy instrument of choice for states all over the world. Public-private partnerships of city governments and property developers actively intervene in neighborhoods in order to change its socio-economic profile. The make-up of the neighborhoods changes, replacing the penniless by the more fortunate. From a sporadic process restricted to the city-center of a few cities, it has spread both vertically and laterally. It is no longer exclusively found in central urban areas, but also in peripheral neighborhoods. Occurrences are not limited to the large cities of the Anglo- sphere, the phenomenon can now also be found in Rio de Janeiro or in Rotterdam (Smith, 2002: 439). In Rotterdam, 'urban restructuring' is on the forefront of the policy agenda. The municipal city government and housing associations seduce private developers to invest in owner-occupied housing disadvantaged neighborhoods.
