Abstract

Port city on the Dutch delta has a number of challenges from several factors such as climate change, decline of port economy and degrade spatial quality by the industrial harbour. In urban and regional planning, the future climate and port change are one of the great challenges because of their uncertainty. The port condition can be changed in the future by the trend of global economy and the climate is impossible to predict accurately. Due to the uncertainty of the port economy and climate change, the spatial development in the port area has limitation to plan and manage. This project trys to search the way and the optimal method between 'Hard' and 'Soft' approach to prepare the future of Rotterdam region and settlement 'Pernis' coping with uncertain climate and port change.
