Grimbergen, Katja (author)The Dutch construction sector has the task in the coming years, to build around 1 million new houses in the Netherlands, most of which will have to be built in urban areas. Together with existing (inter)national crises such as the climate change crisis and biodiversity loss crisis, this means the sector will have to think differently to not...master thesis 2023

Schneider, Kim (author), van Oorspronk, Tim (author), Kruizinga, Margot (author)Excessive carbon emission has led to global warming, resulting in climate change. Due to this, the natural carbon and water cycles are disbalanced leading to extreme (water-related) events, such as flooding, periods of drought and diminished water quality. The degradation of ecosystems and threat to human survival are direct consequences of this...student report 2023

Angelini, Marianna (author)Resilience has become an increasingly popular concept, particularly in the context of climate change and its impact on the environment and cities. Its history and meaning are multifaceted, with various definitions across different disciplines, geocultural contexts, and historical periods. What is the etymology of resilience? How was it used...student report 2023

Sonck, M.M. (author)This doctoral thesis investigates the concept of responsibility in the setting of industrial research and innovation (R&I). Companies have multiple responsibilities in society: profit generation for shareowners, legal and contractual liabilities, as well as socially and morally binding obligations beyond legal compliance. These...doctoral thesis 2023

Goedert, Gina (author)Once, counting as an important banking hub and capital for fashion design within the Arabian countries, Beirut’s favourable economic positioning was weakened by social unrests, political standstill, and economic volatility. Beirut’s population has been facing severe socioeconomic challenges for the past decades, also reflected in the fashion...master thesis 2023

Petter, Lilly (author)The constant manipulation of the Dutch delta system and the resulting creation of hard borders between the natural river landscape, the harbor and the city has led to a destabilized delta system(Hein, 2021; Meyer et al., 2015). The spatial and ecological challenges resulting from population growth and the resulting urban growth, as well as...master thesis 2023

(author)Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem services of coastal protection and chemical habitat formation that could help mitigate the impact of sea level rise and ocean acidification. However, the intensification of hydrodynamic forces caused by sea level rise, in addition to habitat degradation threaten the provision of these ecosystem...journal article 2023

Xie, Fangyun (author), Fu, Xinyue (author), Huang, R. (author)Off-site construction (OSC) is an innovative construction method. However, OSC is not widely applied in residential buildings due to many barriers. Therefore, this paper aims to unravel this puzzle and interpret the slow development of OSC. The paper develops a new analytical lens based on the ecosystem concept. By deconstructing some ecosystem...journal article 2023

Characterization Factors to Assess Land Use Impacts on Pollinator Abundance in Life Cycle AssessmentMigoni Alejandre, E. (author), Scherer, L.A. (author), Guinée, J.B. (author), Aizen, Marcelo A. (author), Albrecht, Matthias (author), Balzan, Mario V. (author), Bartomeus, Ignasi (author), Clough, Yann (author), van Bodegom, Peter M. (author)While wild pollinators play a key role in global food production, their assessment is currently missing from the most commonly used environmental impact assessment method, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This is mainly due to constraints in data availability and compatibility with LCA inventories. To target this gap, relative pollinator abundance...journal article 2023

Jansen, Maurice (author), Hein, C.M. (author)Port cities and their neighbouring areas, located at the confines between sea and land, are key hubs in the transportation of goods and people. Ports serve global transport needs, while they are embedded in local geographies, topographies, political, economic and historical settlements. People have always been attracted to human settlements...contribution to periodical 2023

Hà, T.L. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author), Simons, Gijs W. H. (author), Poortinga, Ate (author)Hydrological ecosystem services (HESS) describe the benefits of water for multiple purposes with an emphasis on environmental values. The value of HESS is often not realized because primary benefits (e.g., food production, water withdrawals) get the most attention. Secondary benefits such as water storage, purification or midday temperature...journal article 2023
