(author), Touchant, K. (author)Land take as a result of urbanization is one of the major soil threats in Europe. One of the key measures to prevent further urban sprawl and additional land take, is redevelopment of urban brownfields: underused urban areas with, in many cases, soil and groundwater pollution. The latter issue can be a bottleneck for redevelopment of brownfields...report 2015

(author), van den Dobbelsteen, J.J. (author)Efficiency in the Operating Room (OR) is a topic of growing interest. Planning of care is a crucial element to ensure optimal use of the ORs. Currently, OR scheduling is considered as a complex task based on predictions of surgery duration. The latter are often based on average times, but turn out to be inaccurate in practice because of...conference paper 2015

Van Oort, N. (author), Van Leusden, R. (author)Hoewel het verbeteren van de betrouwbaarheid van het openbaar vervoer (OV) vaak één van de belangrijkste doelen is van OV-projecten, ontbreekt in maatschappelijke kostenbatenanalyses (MKBA’s) vaak expliciete, kwantitatieve aandacht voor de verwachte baten hiervan. In dit paper presenteren we een methodiek die het mogelijk maakt deze baten...journal article 2015

Walraven, E.M.P. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Integration of renewable energy in power systems is a potential source of uncertainty, because renewable generation is variable and may depend on changing and highly uncertain weather conditions. In this paper we present and evaluate a new method to schedule power-demanding tasks with release times and deadlines under uncertainty, in order to...conference paper 2015

Masip-Tresserra, J. (author)Despite strong efforts made by scholars to study the polycentric spatial organization of agglomeration in metropolitan areas, there is still no consensus about the conceptualization (i.e., identification and measurement) of polycentricity and its economic, social, and environmental (dis)advantages. Additionally, little is known in the policy...doctoral thesis 2016

Chagas Cavalcanti, A.R. (author)Most of today’s Brazilian Social Housing Institutional complexes are standardized mass buildings. They are planned in the periphery of cities, have no connection to public transportation systems and are disconnected from their respective local context. The planning approach to housing is compliant with ‘state simpli cation models’ which turn a...conference paper 2016

Neuman, Michael (author), Zonneveld, W.A.M. (author)Regional design, long a backbone for spatial planning, even if under other names, has become topical again for two reasons – as a key strategy and as a key tool in spatial management. This is due to several reasons. New conditions of urbanization that result from the convergence of several factors highlight the need for spatial strategy...journal article 2018

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), van Campenhout, Ignace (author)Although severely altered, the urban subsurface is the base of the natural system, and is crucial for a stable, green, healthy, and liveable city. It is also the technical space, the engine room of the city where vital functions such as water, electricity, sewers, and drainage are located. This hybrid state needs to be recognized when designing...journal article 2019
