Rotterdam is still largely supplied by supermarkets and conventional just-in- time distribution, a classical example of food system 2.01 and it is hard to see how this could change in the short term. Nonetheless, the more sectoral approach to food (production, processing, transport and retail) is making way for a more integrated approach to food (i.e. also considering environmental, public health, social justice, education, employment concerns as is characteristic of a more regionally embedded food system 3.0). This is reflected in the increasing participation of players that are traditionally not considered part of the food sector such as health organisations, schools, social housing companies, commercial real estate, innovative start-ups, proactive NGOs and social entrepreneurs. Short supply chain initiatives Rotterdam has seen an increasing number of short supply chain initiatives over recent years. Although these may have social and environmental motives their main driver is commercial viability and they aim to serve a growing niche market. Short food supply chains may involve direct sales on farm, online sales and box schemes, farmers markets, retail and catering (hotels, restaurants, public institutions and private companies). There are several websites that show where to buy your food directly from farmers or growers in the Rotterdam city region. Farmers work on their own or as a cooperative. Relatively new categories of direct supply are urban farms or urban production sites inside the city. Initiatives range from urban to peri-urban and from self-organised citizen initiatives to professional farmers. The number of online shops and box schemes is rapidly increasing in the Netherlands and the Rotterdam city region, with new initiatives starting up, but also closing down, regularly. An increasing number of farmer and festival markets offer opportunities for organic local (and national) producers and traders. In retail and catering, a current trend is the differentiation on the basis of provenance claims. This is expressed both in new catering concepts (e.g. a restaurant using produce from the region) and new product concepts (e.g. local product varieties or recipes). There are restaurants that have on-site production facilities to complement the products that they source locally. There are also urban farms that run a restaurant to market their products. There is a fast food (snack bar) chain that is trying to source potatoes for its world famous Flemish chips from the region. They recently introduced a new food concept where they cut potatoes without peeling them and serve the chips with home-made ragouts and sauces. Another project re-introduced a traditional dairy breed for meadows on peat soil in the Rotterdam city region. The meat is used in hamburgers served at snack bars in the region. The high number of new initiatives seems to indicate, on the one hand, the opportunities that are provided by CRFS, and on the other, that start-ups in the food sector require founders

The analysis is derived from hard and soft data, offering detailed insight on Charlois PRIVATE / PUBLIC in both numbers and people, hereby de- veloping a theoretical background on the area for further development. SOCIAL NETWORKS The data was divided in 7 main categories. Subcategories of these were grouped in three scale levels, the city, the district and the neighbourhood. A focus in analysis from themes rather SOCIAL ABILITY than categories made research from mul- tiple angles valid. In the final scheme (as seen on the front- page) the analysis results -cells- are de- IDENTITY fined by the categories -columns- and scales -rows-. The themes were main- tained by icons as seen right, resulting in a final scheme where within connections were made between different elements of analysis that have influence on one an- other.

This master thesis is the final assignment for the master-track Management in the Built Environment at the Delft University of Technology. The choosing of the topic of this thesis can be traced back to an episode of “De slag om Nederland” (VPRO 2012). This documentary showed the problematic situation of the Dutch office market. However, solutions for this problem where hardly proposed. With this thesis I will go into more detail on the origin of the current Dutch office vacancy and how adaptive reuse can serve as a possible solution. By doing so, I want to expand my knowledge on adaptive reuse and its value in a social and economic way.

The data used in the charts and tables is the latest available at the time of going to press. Sources are included for all the charts.

September 2015 Actions speak louder than words Rotterdam can easily be regarded as the most dynamic city of the Netherlands. It is the only Dutch city with a true skyline. A skyline that will only get denser in CONTENTS the years to come as more and more high-rise buildings are delivered. It is a city where architecture is used to enhance the quality of life and to revive parts of the city which were lagging behind. It is a city where institutional, top-down schemes METROPOLITAN AREA go well together with smaller, local and often private contributions. A city where page 04 the slogan “actions speak louder than words” is central in its thinking. And thus a city that continuously invests in itself, not in order to compete with other cities, but simply because it has to; it is in its DNA.

    CHARLOTEC IJzersterk in Charlois Terrein Doklaan 16-30 Rotterdam CHARLOTEC IN CHARLOIS Op het Charlotec terrein in Charlois komen haven en stad samen. Een unieke plek midden in de stad omringd door grote publiekstrekkers als de SS Rotterdam en Speelstad Rotterdam. Zichtbaarheid vanuit het centrum en goede bereikbaarheid over weg en water maken deze locatie tot een bijzondere ves- tigingsplaats. De dynamiek langs het water biedt nieuwe kansen voor ondernemers met lef en zij die werken aan een toekomstdroom! De locatie bestaat uit een groot terrein aan de Maashaven, negen hallen en twee gebouwen met een eigen verhaal en geschiedenis. Het terrein kent een rijke historie van machinefabrieken en kraanbouwers. Tegenwoordig ligt de focus meer op recycling; van groot naar klein. Oude industriehallen krijgen een tweede leven en oude metalen worden gesorteerd voor transport naar productielanden. Deze brochure laat u op een nieuwe manier kennis maken met dit meer dan honderd jaar oude havengebied. In woord en beeld krijgt u een indruk van dit prachtig gelegen terrein met zijn karakteristieke gebouwen en welke mogelijkheden hier allemaal liggen.
