Maiullari, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Mosteiro-Romero, Martin (author)In the implementation of Energy Transition Strategies within urban (re)development projects, processes of spatial negotiation between functional needs (for buildings and transportation infrastructure) and energy solutions able to meet the energy performative targets have been observed. In a large number of urban transformation cases, spatial...conference paper 2019

Sileryte, R. (author), Lopes Gil, J.A. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)The concept of Circular Economy has gained momentum during the last decade. Yet unsustainable circular systems can also create unintended social, economic and environmental damage. Sustainability is highly dependent on a system’s geographical context, such as location of resources, cultural acceptance, economic, environmental and transport...conference paper 2018

Sileryte, R. (author), Wandl, Alex (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)Transitioning towards circular economy requires changes in the current system which yield a number of impacts on such fundamental values as human health, natural environment, exhaustible resources, social well-being and prosperity. Moreover, this process involves multiple actors and requires careful considerations of ample spatial information....conference paper 2017

Maiullari, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)Within an energy transition process in the urban environment, a successful implementation of strategies requires the capacity of communities to develop and explore various visions and make decisions within an uncertain and complex context. To achieve a reduction of energy demand and to introduce technologies for production, storage and re-use of...conference paper 2017

Sanders, F.C. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)To speed-up climate neutrality of Dutch cities National-government started 4 neighbourhood housing area innovation projects concerning citizen participation (IKS2). The participatory fascination of these projects lays in the gradations of citizen participation being: thinking-along, joining-in and investing-in. The conclusion of analyzing these...conference paper 2016

(author), Blecken, G. (author), Ashley, R. (author), Rauch, W. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Viklander, M. (author)The city of Kiruna in Northern Sweden has become known for the need to relocate major parts of the city. Current and future mining activities in the world’s largest underground iron ore mine are the cause of land subsidence that requires relocation of substantial parts of the town including its water infrastructure. Figure 1 shows the area...conference paper 2015

Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author), Ashley, R. (author), Sijmons, D.F. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Cities exhibit unique and ever-changing spatial layouts formed by nested natural and socio-economic systems, sub-systems and components resulting from exchange, interaction, and interdependency processes. In this context, managing surface water in urban areas requires new approaches that integrate the knowledge about territorial patterns and...conference paper 2014

Casakin, H. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Analogical reasoning can be seen as an important aid in problem solving, and architectural design problem solving in particular. Analogical reasoning was found to be an important aid supporting architectural education. In this paper we explored the use of visual and verbal analogies in the early phases of the design process when student...conference paper 2014

Forgaci, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Assessment is one of the greatest challenges of urban resilience research. The difficulty of this task arises from the increasing complexity of urban environments and from the unpredictability of external changes, two trends that have raised environmental awareness and, consequently, led to a growing debate on the relationship between city and...conference paper 2014

Forgaci, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)While the complexity of urban environments is growing, the effectiveness of action-driven strategies appears to be decreasing. This paper speculates on three alternative approaches: (1) strategies of inaction; (2) strategies of subtraction or, even more, (3) strategies of hormesis, that keep their subject (cities, neighbourhoods, communities,...conference paper 2014

Salinas, C.R. (author), Garcia Cejudo, D. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Airports represent the contemporary global gateways of metropolitan areas worldwide. In the case of the megalopolis of Central Mexico, air transport was traditionally used only by upper social segments of the population, however, during the last years, the introduction of low-cost airlines in the country has caused that the amount and economic...conference paper 2014

Meijer, S.A. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author), Brezet, J.C. (author)Climate change and resource scarcity effects pose challenges by themselves. In the context of the complexity of cities, these challenges become wicked and ill-defined as e.g. socialeconomic issues are added. To face these challenges, a city’s resilience on multiple scales has to enable it to both mitigate the causes and adapt to the...conference paper 2013

Electric vehicles offer the promise of major reductions in local CO2, NOX and particulate emissions. In addition, electric vehicles are silent, easy to service and have high ‘well-to-wheel’ energy efficiency. However...conference paper 2010
