What influences the social acceptance of floating urban developments? Insights from a floating neighborhood in Amsterdam
There is increasing interest in floating urban developments as an innovative approach to urbanization pressures and climate change. Although smaller-scale floating housing projects already exist in the Netherlands and globally, developing and upscaling floating neighborhoods involves various complex governance challenges. Particularly the social and political acceptance of living on water remains a central, yet underexplored issue. Existing float…
Understanding interdependencies in urban pluvial flood risk management
In urban pluvial flood risk management, local authorities and local collectives (e.g. citizen groups) increasingly rely on each other's contributions to develop on-the-ground solutions, thereby creating an interdependent relationship. Although it is known that these interdependencies can be beneficial, most studies have focused on interaction processes between local authorities and local collectives, paying less attention to the underlying interd…
The quest for spatial quality in Dutch national planning between the 1980s and 2020s
A quest for quality of the (un)built environment is part of most planning cultures. Striving for quality, though, is an ambiguous planning objective, often only operationalized with soft or informal policy instruments, such as guidelines or advisory boards. Adopting a governance arrangements perspective, this study unravels the history of the spatial quality concept in Dutch national spatial planning to develop a deeper understanding of what stee…
Decentralized Implementation of Flood Resilience Measures – A Blessing or a Curse? Lessons from the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan and the Royal Docks Regeneration
This article presents a case study on the implementation of the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan in the Royal Docks, a regeneration project in the East of London. On paper, the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan advances the shift from traditional flood control to flood resilience, because of its long-term horizon, estuary-wide approach, and emphasis on floodplain management. In practice, however, we identify three frictions between vision and reality: a lack of l…
Governing for Resilience in Vulnerable Places
Governing for resilience in vulnerable places
In spatial planning, resilience is widely acknowledged as a new approach to incorporate uncertainty into governance strategies, particularly with respect to natural hazards such as flooding. Translating and applying the concept of resilience from its ecological and engineering roots to social sciences, however, remains a challenge. Contemporary understanding of the concept of 'resilience' differs across and within disciplines and the concept has …
