He is now chairman of the Academic Board of the MSc program River Delta Development of three Applied Universities in The Netherlands, and project director of DeltaCAP, a Dutch funded program on capacity development to support the implementation of the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100. He worked as a researcher on various environmental issues related to the building industry, such as environmental impact assessments, product development, emission modeling, testing procedures, building codes and guidelines in the 1980s followed by 20 years international research and consultancy in environmental engineering and water management of urban systems. In the past 15 years he has accumulated extensive national and international experience with integrated approaches to manage floods in urban environments. His research interest is specifically on innovative concepts to mitigate urban flood impacts, on flood proofing building designs and technologies and on decision support tool development in urban planning with practical application in urban flood management and climate adaptation. He has a strong affinity with the ecological, socio-economic, institutional aspects of urban planning and water management. Therefore, he considers himself more a generalist than a specialist. He has published/edited five books and more than 120 scientific publications in the field of environmental engineering and urban flood management. He was co-founder and chairman of the European Network COST C22 on Urban Flood Management. He chairs the Flood Resilience Group (FRG) of IHE Delft.

Dr. Steffen Nijhuis, Associate Professor
Head of Landscape Architecture Research, Director European Post-master in Urbanism (EMU) and Associate Professor Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology.
Dr.ir. Inge Bobbink, Associate Professor at the Section Landscape Architecture,
Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology.
Inge Bobbink focuses on landscape architectonic design with a particular interest in the relation between water and land, including flora, fauna, and people. In her work, she explicitly stresses the importance of form and composition as an expression of culture and identity. Four perspectives on the analysis and design of (urban)water landscapes form the backbone of the research: (urban)landscape perception, (urban)landscape as a palimpsest, (urban)landscape as scale continuum and (urban)landscape as an ecological, economic and social process. She develops research methods to analyse traditional water systems and elements that are deeply rooted in the landscape and linked to human activities, focussing on its circularity and beauty. The results of this research form a theory that helps to transform today’s water systems into circular (integral, sustainable) water systems — an inclusive, tangible space for all.
Dr. Diego Sepulveda-Carmona is an Assistant Professor at the Chair of Spatial Planning and Strategy in the Department of Urbanism, he is currently the Urbanism Lab master coordinator and senior researcher at Complex City Regions and Delta Urbanism research groups at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology.
His research interests are related to the links of regional development and climate change at the implementation of adaptation processes. Diego is specialized in regional development with experiences on infrastructural development and socio-spatial, socio-environmental integration with special interest into fast transformative economies and the integration of the changing social dynamics. The emphasis is on the planning strategies and design under the dynamic interrelation between planning, spatial structures and natural systems. His particular interest in regional development is on the complex conditions for integration of the local levels on the Metropolization processes. He is focus on the strategic alignment between local, urban and metropolitan governance bodies. Lately His work is defined on how to integrate and deploy the climate change adaptation processes and mitigation strategies within a regional developing context.
Dr. Nikki Brand is a Interdisciplinary Scientist at Strategic Development Delft University of Technology.
Her work departs from the observation that the global need for flood resilience is driven by two forces: climate change and a concentration trend in the urbanization process. Although the clash between both is a real concern, the dynamic urbanization process itself is also an opportunity to push for flood resilient development. This, however, requires a coordinated response: often at the regional scale that tends to be governed in a fragmented manner, and from parties that govern different components of the urban fabric that are not aware of their potential contribution. Such a response can only be established from a system’s perspective that identifies cities’ particularities and latent strengths, that can be linked to a diverse set of integrated design responses from spatial designers and civil engineers alike. Nikki’s core academic discipline is urban planning with spatial design, flood risk management and public administration as secondary fields of expertise. She welcomes excellent students that aim to identify strategic leverage for flood resilient development of urban regions in both centralized and decentralized governance systems.
Dr. Baukje (Bee) Kothuis is a postdoc at the department of Hydraulic Engineering, faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences, TU Delft; and an independent consultant at BBE Waterworks, Amsterdam.

Luisa Maria Calabrese is an architect, urban designer and curator. Over the years she has developed a hybrid practice that takes the transformation of the urban as its object. She has practiced professionally in urban design and architecture, as well as in more cross-disciplinary forms of research and design. Her work is characterized by an inquisitive trajectory with cross-disciplinary & artistic research at its core. Her interest in cross-disciplinary & artistic research and new media, led her to join the Make Move Think Foundation. As an educator she has over 20 years of experience in mentoring graduation projects. Her recent work focusses on the critical role (urban) design can play in constructing a post-anthropocentric vision of the world we inhabit. The urgencies of the present time ask for a revision–if not a revolution–of our way of looking at and operating on fragile territories, ecologies and subjects. Moving beyond the dichotomy between human habitat and other ecosystems, the main question is how to re-anchor (urban) design as an inclusive material practice that matters. The spatial narrative approach is one line of research she is particularly interested in. The narrative approach is characterized by multiplicity, meaning that the reading of the territory as a post-anthropocentric project seeks to detect more than one story, more than one voice. By exploring the transformations of an area through the multiple narratives of which it is made of, the dynamic spatio-temporal relationships among spatial systems, environment, society, culture, economy and politics emerge and inform the Urban Design project. The systematical unveiling of narrative layers–more than disentangling lines–is based on an actualization of crossdisciplinary analytical and representational approaches. This multi-focus framework offers a solid basis to explore and unfold more specific research and (urban) design projects, depending on their spatial, environmental and sociocultural contexts.
Dr. Marcin Dąbrowski is an Assistant Professor at the Chair of Spatial Planning and Strategy in the Department of Urbanism, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Delft University of Technology.
His research interests span across many topics related to governance of territory, from regional strategies for circular economy, or energy transition, to governance of urban climate change adaptation policies and the nexus between flood risk management and spatial planning. Marcin’s research seeks to broaden our understanding of how the institutional, cultural and economic contexts in which cities operate shape their capacity to adapt to climate change and promote spanning horizontal, vertical and temporal boundaries for addressing the growing flood risk. In this work, he focuses on the Dutch and Chinese delta cities (Pearl River Delta).

Research projects
- Sponge Cities
Climate change is increasingly challenging existing urban systems. In many cities, the current capacity of urban water management systems to remove rainwater is insufficient to deal with extreme rainfall events that occur as a consequence of climate change. At the same time, climate change causes drought during increasingly long hot periods, resulting in declining groundwater tables which threaten building foundations. The Sponge Cities approach responds to this challenge by providing the capacity to store water when available (keeping the sponge dry enough) and to release water when needed (keeping the sponge wet enough). In this project, we take an integrated approach to Sponge Cities that goes beyond water management to enable the realisation of sustainable urban spaces that restore and preserve the health and well-being of humans and ecosystems in the face of amplifying socio-ecological challenges. This project is a flagship of the Climate Action Program of TU Delft under Theme III – Climate Change Adaptation.
- Citizen Voice
Public participation can be any process that engages citizens in decision-making. When it comes to urban planning, particularly land use planning, public participation has to go beyond conventional survey methods to capture spatial information from the citizens. A common way to obtain spatial information is through participatory mapping. Recent technological advances have enabled the development of new digital tools for participatory mapping, with great potential to reach larger numbers of participants, enabling remote participation and two-way interaction between stakeholders. However, there are still many barriers to the adoption of digital tools by urban stakeholders. As a platform for public participation (bottom-up) and citizen engagement (top-down), the Citizen Voice project responds to this challenge in three ways: (1) we develop and test open-source tools for participation in a co-creation approach that includes key urban actors, (2) we provide guidelines to embed our tools in inclusive and sustainable participation processes, and (3) we perform critical research on public participation to reveal the power relations in urban planning and policy processes.
- Ensuring a just climate transition: A climate vulnerability framework for decision-making
Worldwide, urban areas are increasingly being affected by climate change impacts, including rising sea levels, increasing flooding frequency, and more intense and longer heat waves. Climate risks intersect with ongoing social processes, exacerbating urban poverty and inequality, thus pushing people into further vulnerability. Over the past years, climate vulnerability has drawn the attention of many institutions and scholars, leading to the conceptualisation of various frameworks and indexes to assess climate vulnerability. However, this conceptual work has not been fully integrated into decision-support frameworks. In this project, we review the literature on climate vulnerability, consolidating existing work into a framework to support urban planning and policy. We develop the concept of ‘units of vulnerability’ to guide the allocation of urban interventions. Through an intersectional lens, the concept considers the compounding effect of the multiple factors that make people vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including income, age, and gender, among others. Our framework enables the exploration of multiple scenarios through a coverage problem approach: It seeks to cover as many units of vulnerability as possible given specific constraints, including physical and financial constraints. This way, the benefits of urban interventions are allocated to the most vulnerable groups, ensuring a just climate transition.

I have worked at the convergence of academia and practice since the beginning of my career through the combination of research projects and design projects in the realm of consultancy and spatial design thinking. I hold a PhD in Collaborative and Innovative design processes coming from the University of Seville together with international collaboration with the University of Amsterdam. This is combined with more than ten years of experience in leading and coordinating urban planning and urban design through research-by-design (RbD) projects with a strong focus on vulnerable territories in rapid transition. At TU Delft, specifically through the Urban Design section and the Redesigning Deltas movement, I aim to focus on accelerating practice towards leveraging RbD as an actual alternative to conventional practices in Delta transformations. To do so, my research focuses on understanding the value, the role, and the business case in diverse international cases of delta transformation.

Since her graduation she has been involved in several education and research programs at TUDelft. In her projects and teaching, she inquires the liaison among the imbalance of politics, economics, polluted landscape and built environment. Her current work focuses on situated forms of urban design related to environmental fragility from large scale to micro public space, from public decision to private actions. From 2016 she is freelancing for urban planning offices in Italian and Dutch municipalities, and for private commissions, at the architectural scale. Within Studio for New Realities, she has led the urbanism team working among other projects at the Districts Regeneration Framework of Glasgow and ‘A tot Z’ urban strategy for the eastside of Rotterdam, (from Alexander to Zuidplein). In 2008 she has co-founded UNLAB, with whom, among other projects have worked at the General Local Plan of the great Tirana (Albania). She is currently covering the position of researcher in the project of Redesigning Deltas at TUDelft, in her research she focuses on space, ecology, culture, and politics in the design and planning of critical and highly dynamic landscapes with a lens on the relationship between practices and academic’s projects in the fragile and complex territory of the Delta.
Research projects
Redesigning Deltas
Redesigning Deltas investigates new forms of interdisciplinary design in which urban, landscape and engineering disciplines project a future founded on the natural and spatial qualities of specific ‘moments’ in the Dutch delta system: the port, the sea arms, the polder, the rivers, and the streams. To arrive at a Resilient Delta in 2122 the five teams of the design study delivered a manifest of a new approach how-to live-in harmony with the dynamics of the delta.

I am a Zimbabwean urban and regional planner, and Postdoctoral Researcher with a PhD degree in Urban Planning and Management (University of Twente, NL). My work focuses on risk perceptions and Governance in Europe and the Global South. In the recent past, I studied governance rearrangements and their influence on flood-risk management, as well as the flood risk perceptions and motivations for flood damage mitigation among different actors in Kampala, Uganda. At TU Delft, I focus on institutional diagnosis for adaptive alignment and stakeholders’ flood risk perceptions in the Dutch delta region. I also seek to understand how their perceptions can inform the (re) design process in resilience building processes and activities in the region and how they perceive both old and new designs. Additionally, I have an interest in housing, informal settlements, and governance of sustainability transitions. Over the past 14 years, I have been involved in teaching, curriculum development, and education management in Social Sciences and The Built Environment.

Prior to joining the Urban Design section of TUDelft, she was Unit Master at AA Intermediate School, tutor in the postgraduate Landscape Urbanism Programme, as well as in various international Visiting Schools worldwide, and taught at the IUAV University of Venice, Italy.
Elena develops projects at the intersection of architecture, landscape, and urbanism in diverse contexts, exploring the idea of a spatial practice that recognises the inherently conflicting dynamics that drive human occupation, whether urban or remote. Her current work explores the systemic understanding of land (onshore and offshore rare earth mining dynamics), scarcity, depletion, extremes, and complexity, focusing on materiality, fluidity and raw resources exploited on land and sea, to draw out latent relationships across scales, addressing intensifying social injustice and ecological crisis.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Urban Design section at TU Delft. My career has revolved around observing and analyzing people’s actions within their built surroundings using quantitative techniques and suggesting design adjustments that have positive physical, emotional, and psychological consequences. Before entering the academic field, I worked as an interior architect, especially in the housing sector, which piqued my interest in the correlation between living conditions and the satisfaction and well-being of inhabitants. This practical experience also prompted me to have an interestin bridging the gap between basic research and practical applications. Also, I became interested in utilizing VR as a new research tool to investigate user perceptions empirically and provide architects and designers with concrete evidence. Working as a researcher at the Delta Urbanism Research group, I will be concentrating on the socially inclusive design process of delta areas by involving space users in design decision-making.

Short bio
Qiaodan Liu gained his master’s degree in the Water Resources section in Civil Engineering and Geoscience apartment of TU Delft. After that, he worked as a hydrological engineer at the Bureau of Hydrology and water resources in the Pearl River water resources commission of the Ministry of water resources, China. His interest lies in the integrated framework of extreme cyclone compound flooding, nature-based infrastructure, and multi-goal decision-making. With his strong background in hydrology and hydrodynamics, the goal of his PhD research is to extend the engineering adaptive pathway to a spatial and temporal hybrid strategy of coastal city design and planning.
Research projects related to Delta Urbanism topics:
Development and application of key technologies for climate change catastrophe risk assessment in Shenzhen, China
The research goal of this project is to build a robust evaluation framework for the risk response measures of extreme compound flood catastrophes and plan the dynamic policy path to adaptive climate change in Shenzhen, China. The project builds a database of extreme compound floods and catastrophe scenarios in Shenzhen. By integrating high-precision terrain data and hydrodynamic models, the project will establish an integrated storm surge and flood disaster evaluation system to estimate the impact of extreme compound flood events on critical infrastructure and its cascading effects as consultation for preparing the emergency response plan.

As a civil engineer and public administration specialist, I, as a lecturer, focus on connecting various disciplines for sustainable river management. Smart combinations are essential. This is also reflected in the focus of the lectureship. I connect civil engineering and process knowledge for asset management of water defenses with civil engineering and ecological expertise for 'building with nature' in the river area. But also with water management and socio-economic expertise for the purpose of plastic-free rivers. Additionally, I aim to secure state-of-the-art knowledge on this topic in education.
