  • Swarm Planning

    The Development of a Planning Methodology to Deal with Climate Adaptation

    by Rob Roggema ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book shows that the problem of climate adaptation, which is described in social planning terms as ‘wicked,’ is at odds with the contemporary practice of spatial planning. The author proposes a new adjusted framework which is more adaptable to unpredictable, wicked, dynamic and non-linear processes. The inspiration for this new method is the behaviour of swarms: bees, ants, birds and fish are ... Read more

    Rebalancing Human Impact and Natural Environment

    Edited by Rob Roggema ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book discusses the way to design and plan for regenerative cities and landscapes. Where sustainability aims to safeguard the resources for future generations, and the resilience concept focuses on dealing with shocks to keep the system functioning, regeneration aims to give back more than it takes from the system. This principle is often used in analytical and assessment literature, but not ... Read more

    Designing for Drought in the City

    Edited by Rob Roggema ...

    The ambition of the book is to give a contemporary insight in the state of the art when it comes to designing our cities and landscapes for dry conditions. Water, or the absence thereof, is an important issue to consider. Many cities around the world are increasingly suffering heat, droughts and occasional severe flooding and rainfall.

    The Australian Approach

The chapter authors argue, each in their own way, how urban design can produce an answer to these questions. Furthermore, detailed insights are given into how current designers, architects, urbanists and landscape architects deal ... Read more

  • The Design Charrette

    Ways to Envision Sustainable Futures

    Edited by Rob Roggema ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book was written to support community involvement in the design process, to help prevent negative outcomes that can result from a top-down design approach. The combination of community involvement and design is, at least in literature, not very extensive. Although much has been written about stakeholder involvement, this is often not directly related to design processes, which – most ... Read more

    The Pavao-Pavaozinho and Cantagalo Case Study

    Edited by Rob Roggema ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    One important change in the Brazilian policies is the Pacification. In recent years the government has invested in creating safer and more livable favelas. This generally starts with creating a UPP, a police post at a central location, from where the safety is maintained. Once this has been established the PAC, the government organisation for accelerating urban development in the favelas, starts ... Read more

  • Swarming Landscapes

    The Art of Designing For Climate Adaptation

    Edited by Rob Roggema ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book advocates a fresh approach to planning that anticipates, rather than reacts to, the changes in climate currently in process. Today’s spatial planning procedures rely on historical evidence instead of preparing for factors that by definition lie in the future, yet which are relatively uncontroversial: shortages of water, sea level rise and rises in average temperatures being but three ...
