3 4 Introduction of IFoU Summer School 2009

The IFoU summer schools became an essential part in the annual agenda of the International Forum on Urbanism. Every year students and teachers from the participating universities are joining for a short period somewhere in the world, discussing new ideas, doing research, developing design concepts and – last but not least – making friends. Every year an increasing number of people become involved into this intensive exchange. After the Lugu Lake area in the west of China, Jakarta, Beijing and Hong Kong, The IFoU summer school in 2009 for the first time will take place in Delft, The Netherlands. Organized by the Delft University of Technology in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment the IFoU Summer School 2009 will focus on the transformation of a metropolitan region.

As case will be used the Randstad Holland, a highly urbanized area in the west of The Netherlands that is covering all bigger cities of country, i.e. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. Compared on international level the different cities in the Randstad region are rather small. Even Amsterdam as the biggest city has less than 750.000 inhabitants. However, together are living in the Randstad region more than 6.5 million inhabitants, which makes it the fifth region in the European Union.

The Randstad region is the economical powerhouse and the political and cultural center of the country. From the Randstad is depending the welfare and the competitiveness of The Netherlands. With this in mind the Dutch government wants to develop the Randstad region as a strong competitor on European level that is able to face the contest with other European regions. On the other hand, the Randstad – located mostly underneath sea level in the delta of two important European rivers – is threatened by specific environmental problems: rising sea level, river floods and water pollution are jeopardizing the continued existence of the region and are asking for strong planning interventions.

The IFoU Summer School 2009 will face the double demand of competitive and sustainable development in different design tasks that are related to the Randstad region on multiple scales. I wish all participants an interesting and challenging stay in Delft, new experiences, new insights and friendships for lifetime.

As part of the IFOU (international forum of Urbanism) activities on 2009, the yearly summer course is open for IFOU partners, this year it will be held in The Netherlands, hosted by TU Delft. In line with the general goals of the Forum and focus on the up-to-date urban debate (Randstad Vision 2040, Randstad Urgent program, Twin city: Almere-Amsterdam), the IFoU Summer School 2009 theme will tackle the Dutch government call who wishes that the highly urbanized region in the west of the country - the Randstad - to develop into a sustainable and competitive European top region. The IFoU invitation is to join a whole international team of master students of architecture and urbanism as well as urban related practitioners and a team of senior researchers to explore the dimension of regional planning, regional competitiveness and entrepreneurial approaches for planning and development, to explore and define different approaches towards the definition of a regional vision to articulate the Randstad goal. The program team has defined a series of lectures and encounters with the main regional actors from Ministries to social base organizations. As well as a series of documents and organize data to support the course requirements and to give a strong base for the participants to face the “Randstad Challenge”.

Aims • Analysing the regional development paradigm in Europe. • Understanding the role and scope of the different urban actors in a concerted process of planning by consensus. • Reviewing the different intervention scales on regional planning, • Reviewing its planning framework and the links between urban actors towards sustainable development. • Exploring some regional competitiveness criteria by organizing strategic interventions.

Course Codes • Elaborating a decision making base to define a vision for regional strategic planning. • Introducing urban design as a testing tool for strategic planning. • Elaborating a solution at the Randstad level to improve collaboration between cities and balanced development on the urban regional scale.

14 Fundaments • The recognition of the European spatial planning perspective and the role of preferential developing regions. • Understanding the societal development and the shift towards a more knowledge bases economy and its possible link into a more green economy. • The link to the spatial organization of the region, considering mix of functions and innovation strategies. • Revealing the location demands of services enterprises and other innovative functions with the main existing centralities and its regional trends. • Evaluating the policies that secure the competitiveness of the different city component of the region through design intervention.

Course Methodology The method used in this studio will consists of three components.

The Planning Component The participants will be introduced to the concrete actors involved with the Randstad vision 2040, including its components, main challenges and active links. The participants organized in groups will choose a main set of its challenges/goals and define a coherent development strategy within the previous chosen regional competitive approach framework.

The Strategic Planning Approaches The elements of the regional approach will be explained in a format of seminar steering by the concrete actors and explained more in detail by the mentors. This will define the base for the area, where the student will locate their vision goals.

The Strategic Design Intervention Component This is the ultimate challenge, the participants will now individually determine from a set of pre-defined strategic projects a selection of them. They will organize them within a action plan and by means of urban design activate them under the framework of the already defined development strategy.

Outputs The expected outputs will be a strategic planning vision and an urban design proposal where the vision (or part of it) can be tested.

17 Design Themes theme 1. Randstad Synergy

source: www.vrom.nl

Keywords: Mobility, accessibility, connectivity, urban growth, competitiveness, urban identity.

Randstad Holland (“Edge Cities”) is the economic powerhouse of The Netherlands and is internationally recognized as a successful model of polycentric urban development, yet in reality it is fragmented in many ways. Like many comparative urban regions the cluster of cities and towns that make up the Randstad face great challenges in managing new spatial structure, urban growth and infrastructure networks.

The idea of clusters of cities cooperation to promote new complementary functions to the benefit of the region as a whole is very ambitious. Competition between cities drives out opportunities for SYNERGY - the potential for 1+1>2.

Polycentrism is the principle of organization of a region around several political, social or financial centres.

18 Questions • How polycentric models constituted mega-city regions? • How to enhance the polycentric mega-city performance by improving its mobility, accessibility and connectivity? • How to enhance the polycentric region’s competitiveness by allocating its urban growth?

theme 2. Twin city

source: www.ijbrug.nl

Keywords: Water front strategy, housing intensification, new architecural design for new living demands.

The New Town Almere was developed during the second half of the 20th century. The city was originally planned as a secondary city for Amsterdam and the suburban ‘t Gooi area. Nowadays many inhabitants in Almere are originally moved from Amsterdam. So many inhabitants have a strong relation with Amsterdam (work, recreation, social contacts etc.), which results into heavy commuting. Motorways between these two cities are reaching the limits of their capacity. An urgent solution is needed.

The design theme focuses on the Twin city Concept between Amsterdam and Almere. The intervention will take place between these two cities: the water front areas in the IJmeer (IJ-lake).

The Twin city concept is an agreement between cities in geographically and politically distincts areas to promote cultural and commerical ties.

20 Questions • How to use the water front as a backbone strategy to enhance the twin city concept? • What kind of profile of intensification (housing, accessibility, public space and so forth) can help to benchmark the twin city concept?

theme 3. Recreation of the Green Heart

source: www.mecanoo.com

Keywords: new housing type, integral urban-landscape-eco systems, integral leisure- eco systems, transformation of agricultural land, enhancement of ecological quality and biodiversity, integration of natural sound water storage and purification areas, mobility and accessibility.

The Green Heart of the Randstad is the biggest national landscape of The Netherlands. It is captured between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. While the cities are compact and busy, the Green Heart offers space, rest and green. The government limits cities to grow into the Green Heart. The Green Heart has become a rich area with many waters due to peat-winning. Many of these waters were reclaimed (or impoldered) during the 18th century, such as the Zuidplaspolder.

The theme assignment will focus on the Zuidplaspolder as a case study location in the Green Heart. The Zuidplaspolder lays north west from Rotterdam and is facing a big spatial change, it is designated as the final big urban expansion area of The Netherlands. The development will involve a coherence between urban area, nature, recreation and water management.

22 Questions • How to enhance the effective uses and marketing of the quality of the Green Heart (or cities allocated in the Green Heart)?

theme 4. Den Haag Sea front

source: www.wereldstadaanzee.nl

Keywords: redevelopment of the waterfront to an attractive sea bath during all seasons, integration of harbor and urban waterfront development, integration of residential commercial and touristic programs, seasonal differences, enhancement of coastal protection and urban developments.

Scheveningen is the coastal area of the municipality of Den Haag. According to the ambitions of the municipality, Scheveningen should become the second big centre in Den Haag and the biggest seaside resort in Europe. This will involve a balanced development with four main program elements: living, fish industry, tourism and the constant fight against the sea. Westland is an area in the province South-Holland next to Den Haag. The place is well known for its green house cultivation, it is a properous and innovative area due to the fast developments in the agribusiness. The centre should become more attractive, without loosing the identity of Westland. The area should become pleasant for living, shopping, working and recreation.

The design theme will focus on the integration of harbor and urban waterfront development, the integration of residential commercial and touristic programs and the enhancement of coastal protection and urban developments.

24 Questions • How to take Coastal development as an opportunity to create a new form of urbanization taking into account climate threats, quality of living, and accessibility issues?

theme 5. Kop van Feijenoord

source: www.top010.nl

Keywords: housing intensification, housing integration and differentiation, revitalization of Public Space

The Kop van Zuid is the former harbour area in the kop (top) of the South of Rotterdam. It is now transformed into a new addition to the modern city centre. The Kop van Feijenoord is part of this area, the structure of the old harbour area is still visible in the neighbourhood. The harbours and old train tracks determined a north- south orientation. Old industrial monuments are still remained such as the Entrepot building, de Hef and Old Tramhuis. During the construction of the train tracks tunnel, a lot of buldings were demolished and not replaced, which resulted into big holes in the urban fabric. Besides this, the neighbourhood also deals with several social problems.

The design theme will focus on the opportunities to improve the quality of the neighbourhood ‘Kop van Feijenoord’ by integral approaches, such as housing intensification, housing integration and differentiation or revitalization of public space.

26 Questions How to improve the quality of neighborhood Living by integral Urbanism approaches, to what extend can Kop van Feijenoord enhance the new centrality of the Kop van Zuid area?

Almere Alphen aan den Rijn Alphen aan den Rijn is a small city near the Old Rhine River in the south of The Netherlands in the Green Heart. The first settlements originate from 2000 years ago. And because of its position it was an important place for trade. The area of the municipality is about 58 km2, it has 72.138 inhabitants. In 2001 the city was selected as the most ‘Green City’ of The Netherlands, in 2002 it was even chosen as the most ‘Green City’ of Europe.

Amsterdam Zuid-Oost Amsterdam Zuid-Oost is a district of the city Amsterdam which was built during the 70’s and 80’s. The area of the district is about 22 km2 and has 84.811 inhabitants. It was designed by modernistic rules, where functions are strictly seperated. The lack of integrating functions caused many spatial and problems, it also had to deal with social problems. The district is now going through its renewal period, many projects are emerging on several locations.

Zuiderkerk, Amsterdam The South Church was built in the 17th century in a Renaissance style. It is now in use by the Physical Planning Department of the City Amsterdam and serves as an information centre.

Amsterdam Eastern Docklands In the center of Amsterdam a neighbourhood is developing on several islands and peninsulas in the IJmeer (IJ-lake). The former docklands have been changed into a new, attractive living area. The Eastern Docklands is a highly urbanized and cosmopolitan living quarter situated along Amsterdam’s waterfront. The neighborhood has a creative and innovative atmosphere. Many small businesses, mainly in the professions and the arts, have settled here.

38 IJburg IJburg is a new neighbourhood on the east side of Amsterdam. On six artificial islands 18.000 dwellings are planned for 45.000 inhabitants. On the islands many projects are under construction. On this moment the new neighbourhood has 13.000 inhabitants. The construction of the islands is seperated in two phases. The first phase includes Steigereiland (Pier island) and the Haveneiland (Harbor island). The second phase includes Centrumeiland (Centre island), Middeneiland (Middle island), Strandeiland (Beach island) and Buiteneiland (Outside island). In 2009 the constructrion of the artificial lands started for the second phase. This will take more than 10 years to complete.

New Town Almere The New Town Almere was developed during the second half of the 20th century. The amount of inhabitants caused it to grow out as one of the largest municipalities of The Netherlands and also one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. The area is about 250 km2 and it has 185.937 inhabitants. In 2002 it won the competition for ‘the best municipality to live in’, because it had enough green and space like a village but also has the facilities of a big city.

The city was originally planned as a secondary city for Amsterdam and the suburban ‘t Gooi area. Nowadays many inhabitants moved from Amsterdam (31%) and ‘t Gooi (8%). Many inhabitants have a strong relation with Amsterdam (work, recreation, social contacts etc.), which results into heavy commuting. Motorways between these two cities are reaching the limits of their capacity. An urgent solution is needed.

41 Den Haag (The Hague) Den Haag is one of the major cities in the Randstad, it is the capital city of the province South-Holland. The area of the city is about 98 km2 and it has 482.742 inhabitants. It houses the Dutch government and parliament. The house of the royal family is also in Den Haag. The city is a centrum for international jurisdiction and peace politics.

Scheveningen Scheveningen is a seaside resort and district of Den Haag, it consists of several small neighbourhoods. It is well known in the Dutch scene, with its famous boulevard and Pier in the sea. Particularly in the summer it is crowded with many tourists. The ambition of the municiplaity - becoming a famous seaside resort in Europe - creates opportunities to find a new balance between: living, fish industry, tourism and the constant fight against the sea.

Westland Westland is an area in the province South-Holland. The place is well known of its green house cultivation and is therefore sometimes called ‘The Glass City’. Westland is a properous and innovative area due to the fast developments in the agribusiness.

Rotterdam Rotterdam is situated in the south of the Randstad, it is the second biggest municipality in The Netherlands next to Amsterdam. The area ia about 319 km2 and it has 583.933 inhabitants. The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe. From 1962 to 2004 it was the world’s busiest port; then it was superseded by Shanghai. Rotterdam is situated on the banks of the river Nieuwe Maas, one of the channels in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse rivers.

42 Kop van Zuid, Rotterdam By the end of the 19th century, the kop van Zuid (litterally: head of the South) transformed into one of the biggest harbour areas in the world. Almost a century later there was another transformation: the harbour functions were no longer used, and the area got redeveloped into a new addition to the modern city centre of Rotterdam.

Zuidplaspolder The Zuidplaspolder lays north west from Rotterdam and is facing a big spatial change, it is designated as the final big urban expansion area of The Netherlands. The development will involve a coherence between urban area, nature, recreation and water management.

Gouda Gouda lays in the urban area of the Randstad, the area is about 18 km2 and it has 70.901 inhabitants. During the middle ages it was an important place, because two rivers joint together in this city, river Gouwe and river Hollandse IJssel. In the city centre there are many historical buildings, such as the City Hall and Sint-Jans Church. The city is well known for its production in cheese, candles, pipes and treacle-waffels.

Royal academy (1842 – 1864): On January 8, 1842, King Willem II founded the ‘Royal Academy for the education of civilian engineers, for serving both nation and industry, and of apprentices for trade’. The Academy also educated civil servants for the colonies and revenue officers of the Dutch East Indies.

Polytechnic school (1864 – 1905): An Act passed on May 2, 1863, imposing regulations on technical education as well as bringing it under the influence of the rules applying to secondary education. Then, on the 20th of June, 1864, a Royal Decree was issued, ordering that the Royal Academy in Delft be disbanded in order to make way for a new ‘Polytechnic School’. The School went on to educate architects, and engineers in the fields of civil works, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering and mining.

Institute of Technology (1905 – 1986): On May 22, 1905, an Act was passed, acknowledging the academic level of the School’s technical education - it became a ‘Technische Hogeschool’, or an ‘Institute of Technology’. Queen Wilhelmina attended the Institute’s official opening ceremony on July 10, 1905. The Institute’s first Rector Magnificus was the professor of hydraulic engineering ir. J. Kraus. The Institute was granted corporate rights by an Act passed on June 7, 1956.

Delft University of Technology (1986 - present): It was an Act which took effect on 1st September, 1986, that officially transformed the Institute of Technology into Delft University of Technology, also known as ‘TU Delft’.
