Neighbourhood immigrant concentration effects on migrant and native youth’s educational commitments, an enquiry into personality differences

In the literature examining neighbourhood effects on educational outcomes, the socialisation mechanism is usually investigated by looking at the association between neighbourhood characteristics and educational attainment. The step in between, that adolescents actually internalise educational norms held by residents, is often assumed. We attempt...

BALANCE 4P: Balancing decisions for urban brownfield regeneration – people, planet, profit and processes

Urban designers are not used to taking the subsurface into a holistic perspective on spatial development. Nevertheless, the subsurface accommodates numerous functions crucial to urban life, such as infrastructure, carry capacity, heat, water, etc.. Moreover, it also carries the natural system crucial for urban quality and health. In the light of...

Machinekamer van de stad: Relaties onder- en bovengrond

De bodem speelt een belangrijke rol in de stedelijke klimaatopgave en bij energietransitie. Daarom is het noodzakelijk bodemvraagstukken kostenbewust op te lossen. Dit vraagt om nauwe samenwerking tussen stedenbouwkundigen en civiel ingenieurs. De machinekamer van de stad (relaties tussen onder- en bovengrond) is gebaat bij een veerkrachtig...

Neighbourhood poverty, work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood: A longitudinal study into the moderating effect of personality

We studied how personality moderates the effect of neighbourhood disadvantage on work commitment and unemployment in early adulthood. Using a personality typolo-gy of resilients, overcontrollers, and undercontrollers, we hypothesised that the association between neighbourhood poverty and both work commitment and unemployment would be stronger...

The association between neighbourhoods and educational achievement, a systematic review and meta-analysis

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC Grant Agreement n. 615159 (ERC Consolidator Grant DEPRIVEDHOODS, Socio-spatial inequality, deprived neighbourhoods, and neighbourhood effects). Many studies have examined the...

Poldering between control and laissez faire: The example of harmonizing subsoil management and spatial planning

The purpose of this contribution is to look at different planning contexts into which decisions about subsoil engineering presently need to be integrated. There are many ways of doing as well as theorizing spatial planning; and planning practice is constantly changing. Next to that, soil legislation and management has become more important to...

The Impact of Historical Geography and Agricultural Land Development Processes on Wetland Restoration Methods Used to Create Ecological Networks: A Comparison of Japan and the Netherlands

In the Osaka area in the 1880s, rice was grown mostly in dry fields in upland areas, and a few paddy fields were situated on the natural wet landforms along the major rivers and streams on the Osaka Plain. As the area developed, dry fields became irrigated, and the lowland fields were filled and converted to urban land uses. For the Osaka city...

The association between neighbourhoods and educational achievement, a systematic review and meta-analysis

Many studies have examined the effects of neighbourhoods on educational out-comes. The results of these studies are often conflicting, even if the same independ-ent variables (such as poverty, educational climate, social disorganisation, or ethnic composition) are used. A systematic meta-analysis may help to resolve this lack of external...

Ontwerpen met de ondergrond

Stedenbouwers moeten meer oog krijgen voor de ondergrond. De bodem speelt immers een belangrijke rol in de stedelijke klimaatopgave en bij energietransitie. Hier kostenbewust mee omgaan is in het huidig economisch tij een aparte opgave. Een veerkrachtig ontwerp brengt het ecosysteem en klimaat samen èn neemt de dynamiek van bodem en ondergrond mee.

Neighbourhood Effects on Migrant Youth's Educational Commitments: An Enquiry into Personality Differences (Discussion Paper)

In the neighbourhood effects literature, the socialisation mechanism is usually investigated by looking at the association between neighbourhood characteristics and educational attainment. The step in between, that adolescents actually internalise educational norms held by residents, is often assumed. We attempt to fill this gap by looking at...

Geothermie manifestatie: Verbindt, verbreedt en verdiept

Visie wordt wakker! Verkenning van de grondvesten van visie in stadsontwikkeling

De hedendaagse verandering in de water- en energiebalans door de klimaatontwikkelingen en het opraken van fossiele brandstoffen vraagt om een andere manier van – en een andere visie op en voor - stadsontwikkeling. Door de duurzaamheids- en klimaatopgave wordt hoe de stad “gemaakt” weer belangrijker omdat er aansluiting gemaakt moet worden met...

The Fine Dutch Tradition

Publication of the exhibition and symposium on water adaptive urban planning and architecture in Bangkok. The Urban Fine Dutch Tradition is a dynamic tradition of making urban designs using the parameters of the natural system – incorperating in an efficient way the hydrological cycle, the soil and subsurface conditions, technology and urban...

Verbinden wateropgave met ruimtelijke ordeningsopgave: Deelprogramma nieuwbouw en herstructurering

De Deltabeslissing Ruimtelijke Adaptatie richt zich op het verbinden van de wateropgave met ruimtelijke opgaven in gebieden en het op een kwalitatief goede manier ruimte maken voor water. Om deze beslissing te kunnen onderbouwen, werkt het Deltaprogramma Nieuwbouw en Herstructurering langs twee inhoudelijke sporen: ruimtelijke inrichting en...

Rotterdam: Dynamic Polder City = Land + Water + Culture

The planning culture in the Netherlands is based on the experience of building cities on very wet and soft soils. The design of Dutch polder cities was from early on a balance between land and water: building site preparation. The relation between technological development and urban development can be ordered in six phases: natural (-1000),...
