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.

Kop van Feijenoord General Introduction 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
