This is a report of the research done during the Summer School 2022 at the Digital Methods Initiative (UvA). The work and the report were developed in collaboration with the participants in the datasprint: Gabrielle Aguilar // Federica Bardelli // Laura Bruschi // Miranda García // Giulia Giorgi // Matthew …

Flooding has become more common in many developing nations as a result of increasing urbanization and climate change. As a result, community people are constantly confronted with the harmful impacts of floods. Flooding is a recurring issue in Nigeria, causing huge economic losses as a result of damage …

Many delta cities worldwide are dealing with the same kind of problems: rising of the sea level, land subsidence, scarcity of land and illegal housing. Multiple land use is one of these solutions that will help to reduce flooding and scarcity of land. An example of multiple land use is a floating community. …

De effecten van de klimaatverandering zijn merkbaar in de gebouwde omgeving: hittestress en wateroverlast. Frank Spuij gaat in gesprek met Cathelijne Bouwkamp, wethouder gemeente Arnhem. Floris Boogaard, Hanzehogeschool, licht best practices toe.

Climate change and changing land use challenge the livability and flood safety of Dutch cities. One option cities have to become more climate-proof is to increase infiltration of stormwater into soil through permeable pavement and thus reduce discharge of stormwater into sewer systems. To analyze the …

Over the past decades, various types of permeable pavements have been implemented in different municipalities in the Netherlands in order to improve infiltration capacity in urban areas and therewith being able to better treat stormwater runoff. With initial promising results, this adaptation measure …
