2 Storyline introduction 1.Adaptation Rotterdam Watercity Mitigation Rotterdam Climate Initiativ 3.Projectproposal after GRIP Conclusions

3 Adaptation Rotterdam Watercity 2035

4 History and relation with the water North Sea Rotterdam

5 History and relation with the water

6 Rotterdam and the water now

7 Harbour of Rotterdam Development of the Harbour in time

8 Water is coming to Rotterdam Rotterdam is threatened by water Precipitation river discharge Rising sealevel Groundwater

9 Geographical situation 1. Rotterdam in Europe North Sea Amsterdam Rotterdam Rhine

10 If we do nothing.. Amsterdam Veluwe Den Haag Rotterdam

11 . this will happen Amsterdam Veluwe Den Haag Rotterdam

12 We could build a Chinese Wall dike?

13 How can we turn an enemy into a friend? Essence of strategy > Or how can we use this for an attractive 4 december city? 2007

14 Other problems than water

15 This is going on in Rotterdam Werkend Working people Uitkering Student Pensioen Inactief aantal personen Green: people who are leaving Blue: people who are coming in Red: Vertrekkers Blue minus Vestigers green (balance) Saldo

16 Strategic plan: ambitions as in every city!!!! 2 main goals for the city and region: - strong economy - attractive city Strategic plan for Rotterdam 2030, february 2007

17 The Challenge: how to solve the water and the spatial economic social problem? 21e century version of the Singelplan Rose from 1850 s?

18 The Challenge Singels more than 150 years later

19 What did we do? Mastercase approach 1. Research; facts and figures

20 m3 Extra waterstorage for 2050 in city centre and old city neigbourhoods

21 Use the water problems to help solving social, economic, spatial problems In Rotterdam there is a need for: safety, quality housing, good public space, good economy!

22 2. Scenarios Rotterdam Watercity 2035 Innovations Rivercity Canalcity Watersolutions good housing + public space

23 3. Implementation watersquares waterliving green/water roofs

24 Watersquares temporarily storage capacity

25 It already exists

26 Different way of investing money

27 Closed watersquares

28 Open watersquares

29 Network watersquares

30 Green- and waterroofs

31 cityproblems Conclusions waterproblems Integrated vision/programme We can use the threat of water for strenghtening the main ambitions of Rotterdam: Water is a chance for a more attatractive city Do it together let it be a plan from and for them.

32 Mitigation Rotterdam Climate Initiative

33 Goal: 50% reduction in 2025 c.t. 1990

34 Coalition of partners Comitted to the 50% goal Reinventing Rotterdam, the way we live, work, travel.

35 Regional coalition: goal -50% CO2 emission in 2025 Developers,, Housingcorporation Energyproducers National government Rotterdam city, port authority, industries, Environmental organisation (permits) keyplayers are involved

36 implementation on projectlevel not a fairytale? Tolkien, Lord of the rings Hundertwasser Teletubby house The examples are out there!

37 Rotterdam Climate Initiative Rotterdam city, port authority, industries, Environmental permit org. goal -50% CO2 emission in 2025 Sustainable City Sust.

40 Spatial strategy and cityplanning 1. Cityproblems/goals Energyproblems/goals Integrated vision/programme 2. Greencode as a fundament; translation of co2 goals to spatial and urban rules from builidingscale to cityregionscale 3. Use existing co2 free newtowns approaches for the existing city

41 Projectproposal: To go from the list of techincal solutions to a tailormade integrated spatial strategy for our city we have a Projectproposal on mitagation and sustainability after GRIP/euco2 as this is a crucial step! Interreg IVB Mastercase methodology like we did for water adaptation Submit in june partners

42 Might this be an idea for other EUregions? it s a next step probably more cities already involved in other climate projects we can all share outcomes using METREX as a platform other cities than metrex are involved so. potentially can join the grip 100 The metrex climate influance is more widespread learn/teach

43 Climate Change, City Change let s change now Thank you for your attention N.tillie@dsv.rotterdam.nl Rotterdam Watercity 2035 The Flood: threat of chance?

44 Research methods and products 1. What is the main problem in you city? What is your city plan or vision? Available in most cities 2. Facts and figures of energy types, use and consumption in each part of the city Available via GRIP, or other method I N T E R R E G 3. Tailormade vision and implementationstrategy for your own city on different scales.master Case Methodology.used for Rotterdam adaptation strategy, very successful!.involving local stakeholders.create innovative vision and implementation strategy within few months 4. implementation and (pilot) projects

45 Project characteristics Investments in concrete projects possible.approx. 5-6 partners.total budget per partner approx euro (funding ).Rotterdam lead partner.metrex involvement?.june/july 2007: Submit proposal so january first preparationmeetong

46 Planning.Jan/Feb 2007 First preparation meeting with all partner cities.march 2007: Draft proposal.march/april 2007: Call expected

47 From GRIP Methodology to a Sustainable City.We have to know present emissions factors and which separate solutions have the biggest impact THE GRIP APPROACH IS ESSENTIAL TO THIS We are partner of the EUCO2 80/50 in interreg IV C

48 INTERREG IVB NorthWest Europe (NWE) In cities many separate solutions for CO2 reduction for traffic, housing, new dwellings, etc.our proposal: creating a local VISION and implementation STRATEGY plus pilotprojects about a new energy future, integrated in a spatial, economic and social setting. Cityproblems/goals Energyproblems/goals Integrated vision/programme

50 Challenge Many city action plans with quick wins and short term actions Three challenges: 1. Create vision, together with an implementation strategy often lacking and no relation with adoptation programme 2. Not reducing CO2 as goal in itself should be linked to innovation capacities and increase of attractive values 3. Necessity to anchor the programme, so public and political support sustains presently Climate Change is hot, however this can change

51 A real good project.sustainable environment, economic leefomgeving, economische structuurversterking,.betere bereikbaarheid en verbetering milieu en veiligheid.experienced European coordinator.assisted by experienced Interreg expert Application of strategic and innovative solutions Investments in concrete projects possible
