Roggema, Rob (author), Tillie, Nico (author), Keeffe, Greg (author), Yan, Wanglin (author)In this article a planning approach is proposed to accommodate different paces of urbanisation. Instead of responding to a single problem with a Pavlov-type of response, analysis shows that the transformational tempi of different urban landscapes require multiple deployment strategies to develop urban environments that are sustainable and...journal article 2021

Bobbink, I. (author), Loen, S.S. (author)The supervision of water systems in many countries is centralised and taken over from local water management collectives of ‘water workers’ by governmental or other water management institutions. Communities are literally and figuratively cut-off from ‘their’ water systems, due to the increase of urbanisation and industrialisation. On account of...journal article 2020

Copeland, S.M. (author), Comes, M. (author), Bach, Sylvia (author), Nagenborg, Michael (author), Schulte, Yannic (author), Doorn, N. (author)More than any other facet of resilience, social resilience raises the inherent tension within the concept between identity or persistence, and transformation. Is a community the people who make it up, or the geography or physical infrastructure they share? What about the resilience of communities that transform, as a result of a sudden...journal article 2020

Mulholland, Cara (author), Ejohwomu, Obuks (author), Chan, P.W.C. (author)Recently, the concept of social value in construction has seen increasing policy, practice and research interest. In part, this interest stems from growing recognition that construction projects, and especially megaprojects, can create huge social impacts. Although many studies have focussed on defining and developing measures for quantifying...journal article 2019

Tjahjanto, D.D. (author), Turteltaub, S. (author), Suiker, A.S.J. (author)The microstructure of multiphase steels assisted by transformation-induced plasticity consists of grains of retained austenite embedded in a ferrite-based matrix. Upon mechanical loading, retained austenite may transform into martensite, as a result of which plastic deformations are induced in the surrounding phases, i.e., the ferrite-based...journal article 2007
