Financial and logistical guidance for establishing an the stresses that weaken the fabric of a city on a day to innovative new position in city government, a Chief day or cyclical basis. Examples of these stresses include Resilience Officer (CRO), who will lead the city’s high unemployment, an overtaxed or inefficient public resilience efforts; transportation system, endemic violence; or chronic food and water shortages. By addressing both the shocks and 2. Support for that Chief Resilience Officer to lead stresses, a city can better respond to adverse events and is stakeholders in the development of a resilience strategy. more capable of delivering basic functions in both good times This strategy, developed over the course of six to nine and bad, to all populations. months, will serve as he city’s roadmap to resilience. 3. Access to tools, service providers, and partners from the private, public, and non-profit sectors who can help cities develop and implement their resilience strategies. Current City Solution Partners include data analysis companies, reinsurance companies, architects, energy experts, and more. 4. Inclusion in the 100RC Network, through which CROs can share best practices, solve problems collectively, and learn from each other and from other resilience experts. Through these offerings, 100RC aims to not only help individual cities become more resilient, but to facilitate the creation of a global practice of resilience building. THE HAGUE AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP 7 8 AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP THE HAGUE The 100 Resilient Cities Network THE HAGUE AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP 9 A RESILIENCE STRATEGY The resilience strategy will serve as a roadmap to build resilience in The Hague. It will articulate the city’s priorities for building resilience through specific initiatives for immediate implementation as well as the city’s longer-term future, and it will trigger action and support within city government and from outside groups. OBJECTIVES The strategy process has a common set of objectives for all cities. These are to: Establish and elevate the CRO as the Identify specific implementable initiatives to resilience leader in the city, and build capacity help the city better prepare for, adapt to and and resilience knowledge citywide rebound from shocks and stresses Mobilize, connect and catalyse action across Deliver a public document that inspires city diverse stakeholders and sectors officials, constituents and partners to act Advance and inform the city’s understanding illustrate demand for resilience solutions of its resilience strengths and weaknesses to inform the market, and contribute to the growing global practice of urban resilience 10 AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP THE HAGUE The City of The Hague will use the strategy process to innovate, create new opportunities and solutions, build capacity and decide priorities. The lessons learned will be shared across 100RC’s network— helping to inform a global movement by seeing how different cities have leveraged partners, stakeholders and existing planning efforts or developed new methods for achieving these core objectives. The resilience strategy will not be a fixed roadmap but rather a dynamic document to be continuously updated. The process of building The Hague’s resilience is not linear; efforts will be reviewed as new shocks or stresses are experienced, initiatives are implemented, new data becomes available and opportunities for collaboration are revealed. The programme has been designed with this in mind, and should provide the CRO and city with a framework and set of One N e w Yor k tools to update and iterate as the city’s resilience priorities The Plan for a Strong and opportunities evolve. and Just CityCDMX RESILIENCE STRATEGY ADAPTIVE, INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE TRANSFORMATION Resilient GREATER DA NANG RESILIENT CHRISTCHURCH RESILIENT The City of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio Anthony Shorris SAN FRANCISCO First Deputy Mayor STRONGER TODAY, STRONGER TOMORROW.

The challenge is to now draw linkages with existing programmes, build upon our successes and drive a globally supported resilience agenda. 14 AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP THE HAGUE 02 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION In May 2016, the City of The Hague was selected to participate in the 100 Resilient Cities program, pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation, joining a network of cities around the world. The City hosted its Agenda-Setting Workshop on 01 December 2016. The workshop is the first stage in the resilience building work that will take place in the City of The Hague over the next few years. The Agenda Setting Workshop brought together a diverse group of stakeholders and city leaders to discuss the concept of resilience and began a conversation to identify the city’s resilience priorities — ultimately contributing to setting the agenda for resilience across the city. This report provides a summary of the key outcomes recorded form the workshop and should inform the strategic direction moving forward. THE HAGUE AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP 15 AGENDA SETTING WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES The Agenda Setting Workshop was designed to achieve a number of objectives - all focussed on bringing a diverse group of stakeholders together to begin the task of defining the city’s resilience challenge.

Den Haag en Jakarta, 1945-2015 Issue Date: 2018-01-25 75 Hoofdstuk 3 Feeling at Home in The Hague Expats en internationaal beleid in Den Haag sinds de jaren vijftig Wanneer nieuwe expats zich op het stadhuis melden, kunnen zij op een rode-loper-behandeling rekenen. Daar is sinds 2006 het The Hague International Centre (THIC) ingericht, waar zij aan de ene balie door gemeenteambtenaren geholpen worden met hun papierwerk en aan de andere balie advies krijgen van vrijwilligers van zelforganisatie ACCESS over de praktische kanten van het proces van vestiging.215 Op een jaarlijkse infomarkt voor nieuwkomers krijgen expats – zoals de organisatoren stellen – de ‘juiste informatie’ om zich thuis te voelen in de stad. Ook veel internationale clubs en lokale dienstverleners presenteren zich daar.216 Er wordt vaak onterecht de indruk gewekt dat de gemeente met dit ‘hospitality’-beleid voor expats een nieuwe weg is ingeslagen.217 Want al in de jaren vijftig werd er – in samenwerking met een Nederlandse onderwijsinstelling - een lezingenserie voor expats georganiseerd. Een initiatief dat in de jaren zestig navolging kreeg met een nieuwsbrief, die in het Engels verslag deed van de internationale scene in Den Haag. Bovendien stonden deze initiatieven niet op zichzelf en hechtten ook expats en werkgevers al vroeg aan de goede opvang van hun landgenoten en werknemers. Waar kwam deze

Reading this title you could take two positions. Is this a subject we (the society) should want to know or this is interesting! Speaking about ethnicities is always questionable. People are quickly biased and could have xenophobia sentiments towards the other. However, the opposite may also happen: getting to know what ethnicity means across the borders. Ethnicity can be served as a – very seriously taken – playground to explore connections, overlap and discrepancies between the applied, the creative and practical outcome on the one hand and the structured, analytical, thorough and theoretical approach of (social) sciences on the other hand. Both sides share a common space where ethnicity is an actor influenced into.
