Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization WELCOME ADDRESSES Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was elected as WHO Director-General for a five-year term by WHO Member States at the Seventieth World Health Assembly in May 2017. He is the first WHO Director-General to have been elected from multiple candidates by the World Health Assembly, and is the first person from the WHO African Region to serve as WHO’s chief technical and administrative officer. Immediately after taking office on 1 July 2017 Dr Tedros outlined five key priorities for the Organization: universal health coverage; health emergencies; women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health; health impacts of climate and environmental change; and a transformed WHO. Prior to his election as WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros served as Ethiopia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012–2016. In this role he led efforts to negotiate the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, in which 193 countries committed to the financing necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Dr Tedros served as Ethiopia’s Minister of Health from 2005–2012, where he led a comprehensive reform of the country’s health system. All roads lead to universal health coverage for Dr Tedros, and he has demonstrated what it takes to expand access to health care with limited resources. The transformation he led as Ethiopia’s Minister of Health improved access to health care for millions of people. Under his leadership Ethiopia invested in critical health infrastructure, expanded its health workforce, and developed innovative health financing mechanisms. Beyond Ethiopia, Dr Tedros’ global leadership on malaria, HIV/AIDS, and maternal and child health has been immensely impactful. He was elected as Chair of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Board in 2009, and previously served as Chair of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership Board, and Co-chair of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Board. Born in the city of Asmara, Eritrea, Dr Tedros holds a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in Community Health from the University of Nottingham and a Master of Science (MSc) in Immunology of Infectious Diseases from the University of London. Dr Tedros is globally recognised as a health scholar, researcher, and diplomat with first-hand experience in research, operations, and leadership in emergency responses to epidemics. Throughout his career Dr Tedros has published numerous articles in prominent scientific journals, and received awards and recognition from across the globe. He received the Decoration of the Order of Serbian Flag in 2016, and was awarded the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Humanitarian Award in recognition of his contributions to the field of public health in 2011. pg. 1 Time : 13h00 – 13h15 WELCOME ADDRESSES Retno L.

  • Shophouse Transformation in Feijenoord
    Housing Transformation in Feijenoord, Rotterdam Student name: Y.K. Poon |4118561 ShopHouse Transformation in Feijenoord Introduction ShopHouse is a vernacular building type. ShopHouses are mostly two to three stories high, each with a shop operated on the ground floor for commercial activity and a dwelling above the shop. They are mixed-use buildings that serve social and economical functions. They could be found not only in Nederland, but are also very common in other countries. Usually, the dwelling part of the building is housing family of the owner of the ground floor shop. The relationship between shop and dwelling is close and direct. However, this building type became displaced in the twentieth century. “Shops” were claimed as sources of nuisance, and excluded from dwelling area. Housing developments, especially those being built after the Second World War (WWII), are always pure dwellings. Example of the displacement of the ShopHouse could be found in Feijenoord of Rotterdam. Feijenoord was developed into a port industrial area in the late nineteenth century, ShopHouse were built for the port workers of ports and their families at that time1. However, these ShopHouse were substantially changed over the past hundred years. Functionally, the relationship between shop and dwelling are disconnected recently. The shop operators may not live in the dwelling units above. Physically, some of ShopHouse were renovated, of which some shops were removed from the building in the Seventies. And last year, rows of ShopHouse in Oranjeboomstraat were demolished and left vacant (see fig. 1). Once being so dominant in urban culture and street fabric, what is the future of this building typology? Is being demolished the only way out for it? In this writing, the fall of ShopHouse is briefly narrated.

    1 Rotterdam Resilience Strategy, Rotterdam 1.1. Introduction Rotterdam is facing several challenges including climate change and notable urbanization and digitalization, which have not only brought new opportunities but also brought new risks. Since 80% of its urban area is below sea level, water management has always been vital on the resilience agenda in Rotterdam. With the intensification of urbanization processes, permeable areas to manage stormwater drainage are diminishing. At the same time, climate change only adds to the problem, raising the probability of storms and floods and thus forcing the city to rapidly adapt into more resilient actions and strategies. On May 2016, the city of Rotterdam launched its very first resilience strategy to make the city resilient and ready for the challenges of the 21st century. To reproduce the current framework where Rotterdam is towards resilience, this chapter will briefly look into the 2016 resilient strategy and also have a brief glimpse on the history of the evolution of the urban policies on sustainable adaptations in Rotterdam. 1.2.
