Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me over the entire thesis period. For myself, it was a thrilling opportunity to work on a project in the city that peaked my interest of transport and motivated me to complete my studies at the TU Delft. However, without the help of many people the completion of the research would not have been possible. I would like to first say thank you to my committee at the TU Delft consisting of Oded, Niels, Maarten, and Malvika. To Oded, thank you for introducing myself to the topic at the Vervoerregio, providing guidance throughout each stage of the process, and recently starting the refreshing Monday morning masters kick­offs. To Niels, thank you for your supervision and support during the tough Covid­19 months, providing opportunities to share my thoughts on my research, and suggesting almost a year and a half ago how I should go upon searching for practical experience within the Dutch public transport industry. To Maarten, thank you for challenging me in the later phases of my research and pushing me to a point where I am proud of the finished product. And to Malvika, thank you for your thoughtful answers surrounding transport accessibility research. You all played an important role in my thesis, so thank you very much. I would also like to extend a thank you to all the colleagues I met at the Vervoerregio Amsterdam but specifically to Machiel and Mark of team Kennis & Onderzoek. Machiel, thank you for your calming guidance throughout the entire process and connecting me with the people and information required to complete my project. Mark, thank you for having utmost enthusiasm for my project and pushing me to get over the finish line. While I would have wished to spend more time at the Vervoerregio office I will remember my time at the Vervoerregio fondly. Special thanks goes out to all my family and friends who I hold very close to my heart. Specifically to my parents, Dan and Marjolein, for their unconditional love and steadfast support that allowed me to fulfill this idea of completing my masters in the Netherlands. Lastly, I would like to thank my girlfriend Marieke, who has shown more love, support, and patience during this thesis period than I could have ever asked for. Thanks to everyone for making this thesis possible. Ben Drybrough. November 2020. Amsterdam iii Executive Summary An inclusive and sustainable transport network allows people the opportunity to access their daily needs. A transportation planner attempts to facilitate and support these needs by providing a trans­ port network that reaches into neighbourhoods of a transport region. When this is not completed in an effective manner a discrepancy between someones transport need and their transport network arises. This is termed as transport poverty which has negative consequences such as making employment or their social circles inaccessible. It is argued that people of lower socioeconomic and demographic status are most at risk of experienc­ ing transport poverty. This occurs as their transport needs are higher relative to other groups of people with more transport options. This is exacerbated by the fact that current transport networks are often designed for an idealised group of citizens and fails to cater to the specific needs of all individuals. A recent study commissioned by the European Commission explained that transport needs are not constant within a city and outlined eight guiding principles that should be considered when building a transport network for all individuals (Tovaas, 2020). This is an important step in defining specific trans­ port needs for individuals rather than assuming levels of transport need based on their socioeconomic and demographic data. This study attempts to move further away from these assumptions by building on a framework of latent demand proposed by Clifton and Moura (2017). In this framework, transport needs can be identified by observing the transition between latent demand into effective demand when presented with an improved transport network. By observing the transition for different socioeconomic and demographic groups, further insights into people’s transport needs are identified. This study will aim to build on this framework and for which the following research question is developed: How does observing the relationship between the transport network supply and demand provide in­ sights into the transport needs of neighbourhoods defined by their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in the city of Amsterdam, The Netherlands? When answering this question, it is expected that the transition is quicker for groups of lower socioe­ conomic and demographic characteristics as they are historically assumed to have the most transport need. This is because these groups do not have the same options available in comparison with groups of higher socioeconomic groups. The methodology of this research allows for policy makers to identify needs in a city and make network improvements which attempt to solve these problems. Research Methodologies and Case Study The methodology for this research is developed and implemented in the form of a case study for the transit network of city of Amsterdam. This is completed as the transport authority of the Amsterdam region (Vervoerregio Amsterdam) identifies the necessity of supporting individuals transport needs in the region. There are four main components of the methodology developed in order to answer the research question. First, is the clustering of Amsterdam neighbourhoods using income, car ownership, and family com­ position data. This step is completed using a Latent Class Clustering Analysis (LCCA) which defines clusters of neighbourhoods that maximizes the similarities of characteristics within and the differences between clusters. The distance to the centre as well as urbanity of the neighbourhood are added as covariates to the model in order to refine the allocation of neighbourhoods to a certain cluster. The result is a characteristic profile that defines each cluster based on socioeconomic and demographic v vi 0. Executive Summary characteristics which are relevant for the identification of variable transport needs. The clustering sets the basis on which the relationship between supply and demand for differing socioeconomic and de­ mographic groups is analyzed. The second step of the research defines three supply indicators ­ walking coverage, supply frequency and cumulative opportunity accessibility (termed accessibility in this thesis) ­ for the GVB public trans­ port network in Amsterdam (Carleton and Porter, 2018; Deboosere and El­Geneidy, 2018; Wang et al., 2017). General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data is used in a GIS network analysis environment in order to calculate the indicators. These indicators are built to reflect the tangible needs within a public transport network as defined by the Inclusion Project (Tovaas, 2020). The walking coverage is calculated for neighbourhoods to represent the convenience of a potential traveller reaching a transit stop. The supply frequency is calculated to describe the efficiency of the network a potential traveller experiences in their neighbourhood. The last indicator, accessibility, reflects the number of people that a traveller may access within 30 minutes by a public transport journey. This last metric is a common metric in accessibility research which incorporates the convenience of moving around the city, the abil­ ity for multiple routes and vehicles to complete a trip, and providing ample number of locations and destinations that a person can access. Each of these indicators represent a potential transit need for an individual and could be of conscious or unconscious consideration before a trip is completed. Figure 1: Representation of the walking buffer surrounding transit stop in the city of Amsterdam used within each of the supply and demand indicators. The third component of the methodology looks at the number of public transport trips made from neigh­ bourhoods in Amsterdam during morning rush hour of June 2019. The demand indicator is a proxy for the use of the transit network and reflects the trip generation of individuals under different quantity of supply indicators of the transit network. This study utilizes public transport smart card data (OV­ Chipkaart in the Netherlands) to record the number of trips started at each transit stop across the GVB network. Transit trips are allocated and attributed to the surrounding neighbourhoods using a percent­ age of the walking buffer from a transit stop that is present within that neighbourhood. The walking buffer represents the area a person can reach after walking 400m. The pedestrian network of Amster­ dam is gathered from OpenStreetMaps and the walking buffers are calculated using network analysis in the GIS environment (Figure 1). These first three steps of the methodology allow for the socioeconomic clusters to be defined, the constraints/opportunities of the transit network to be calculated, and the use of the network to be found. The last part of the methodology finds the relationship between each of these three components.

Thus, obtain my master’s degree in the Management of the Built Environment. Unlike many students who wanted to become an architect, I started the bachelor Architecture with the intention to end up in a dual master of Urbanism and Management. This came together in the Management in the Built Environment, where I specifically chose to dive in a topic related to the urban area development. The research is set around the development of the Haven-Stad. Immediately after reading many news articles regarding this development, I noticed that it was less in favor of the heavy industry. This raised many questions about the role of the heavy industry in urban redevelopment projects and I wanted to understand this from the perspective of the heavy industry as well as the municipality of Amsterdam.

  • Integrale Landschapskaart Amsterdam-Noord
    Integrale Landschapskaart Amsterdam-Noord juni 2020 Nieuwendammerdijk, 2020 Voorwoord Het verhaal van het Landschap Amsterdam Noord is volop in ontwikkeling. Ons stadsdeel is bezig met het realiseren van een grote bouwopgave. Dat is een verrijking van ons stadsdeel en tegelijkertijd ook een uitdaging. Hoe zorg je dat de ingrepen in het gebied goed blijven passen bij de kwaliteit en het karakter van Noord? Wat er nu gemaakt en gebouwd wordt, ervaren we over 50 of zelfs 100 jaar nog steeds. Welke kwaliteiten zou je dan willen behouden en waar bied je ruimte voor nieuwe ontwikkeling? Amsterdam-Noord is zo ontzettend mooi, om te zijn, om te leven. Dat moet zo blijven! Ik vind voldoende groen daarvoor een randvoorwaarde. En naast voldoende groen, ook een passend gebruik, onze ruime (cultuur)historie en het vele, aantrekkelijke water in Noord. Al die zaken maken Noord sterk en juist dat willen we behouden en versterken. Vanuit dit perspectief zijn we begonnen met het opstellen van een zogenaamde Integrale Landschapskaart Noord. Deze ligt nu voor u. In deze Integrale Landschapskaart zijn de belangrijkste dragende structuren benoemd. Deze van oudsher in Noord aanwezige structuren gaan we behouden en versterken. Deze integrale landschappelijke structuren zijn: • de Waterlandse Zeedijk en • de Noordhollandsch Kanaalzone als landschapspark; • het IJ-oeverpark als doorgaande openbare route aan het IJ; • bij Landelijk Noord en Polders & bedijkingen de landschappelijke karakteristieken behouden en versterken. Bij de totstandkoming van deze Integrale Landschapskaart zijn we overweldigd door de grote betrokkenheid, de inbreng en kennis van vele mensen die zich inzetten voor de groene parels en het landschap in Amsterdam-Noord.

There are other alternative fuels such as Compressed Gas and Hydrogen Fuel Cells that have also been tested for replacing gasoline powered vehicles. However, since the associated refueling infrastructure of alternative fuel vehicles is sparse and is gradually being built, the distance between refueling points becomes a crucial attribute in attracting drivers to use such vehicles. Optimally locating refueling points (RPs) will both increase demand and help in developing a refueling infrastructure.

  • Housing for Whom?
    Housing for whom? Distributive justice in times of increasing housing shortages in Amsterdam Author: Spike Snellens Student nr.: 10432590 Track: Political Science PPG Course: Politics of Inequality Supervisor: Dr. F.J. van Hooren 2nd reader: R.J. Pistorius Date: 23 June 2017 Words: 23.999 1. Abstract Famous for its egalitarian housing provision and social sector Amsterdam has inspired urban justice theorists and planners throughout Europe and beyond. However, due to a list of developments for more than ten years now the depiction of Amsterdam as a ‘just city’ is criticized. In fact, even reserved authors fear that in the near future Amsterdam will lose the features that once distinguished it as an example of a just city. In this thesis Amsterdam is treated as such, i.e. as a deteriorating just city. It is treated as a city characterized increasingly by the principle cause of injustice, i.e. shortages in housing, due to insufficient supplies and too much demand and due to the housing reforms which the past twenty years on the local, national and European level have been implemented. These shortages, in turn, are interpreted through the lens of scarce goods multi-principled distributing frameworks, a concept which was borrowed from Persad, Wertheimer and Emanuel. The idea behind this conceptual framework is that multi-principled distributing frameworks highlight and downplay morally relevant considerations, i.e. both include and exclude on the basis of justice principles, which means in turn that ‘just injustice’ entails that there exist a certain un-biased balance between allocative principles. The use of this lens mirrors the idea that housing is a perennial challenge, by which is meant that distributive struggles revolve around the design of such allocating frameworks and that these can increase when shortage increases.

  • A Neighborhood Level Assessment of the Causal Relation Between Income Inequality and Crime: a Case Study of Amsterdam
    FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS A Neighborhood Level Assessment of the Causal Relation Between Income Inequality and Crime: A Case Study of Amsterdam By Anna Wildeboer Bachelor Thesis Economics Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Erik Plug 27 February 2015 Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between income inequality and criminal activity for a sample of 75 neighborhoods in Amsterdam, for the period 2008-2011. As opposed to greater aggregation units, it considers neighborhoods as a more appropriate level of analysis as they constitute more meaningful frames of reference that are necessary for the experience of economic inequality. The economic theory of crime and the relative deprivation theory identify the mechanisms trough which income inequality aggravates crime. For the empirical analysis a panel-data based fixed effect OLS methodology is used that controls for other economic determinants of crime, unobserved neighborhood specific characteristics and trends over time. The analysis considers different income inequality measures and different samples of neighborhoods. The empirical findings indicate that overall crime rates are positively affected by income inequality. The findings related to the specific crime types are based on a different crime registration method and indicate no effect from income inequality on violent crime and robbery, but a positive effect on burglary rates. ii TABLE OF CONTENT Abstract i Table of Content iii Acknowledgements iv 1.
