Sterk, G. (author), Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Berends, B.R. (author)Public health risks of urban pluvial flooding have so far received little attention in technical discussions. In this paper, the results of pathogen measurements in the sewer system of Utrecht and an urban flooding experiment are presented and used in an application of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment, an existing risk analysis method for...conference paper 2008

Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Traditional methods to evaluate flood risk mostly focus on storm events as the main cause of flooding. Fault tree analysis is a technique that is able to model all potential causes of flooding and to quantify both the overall probability of flooding and the contributions of all causes of flooding to the overall flood probability. This paper...conference paper 2008

Paulsson, E. (author)Workshop 2. Public space interventions Abstract Street art, a form of local urban intervention, encounters strong oppositions from many planners. Making an imprint in public space is, for the most part, only legal if you advertise or if the municipality commissions you. By unlawfully taking up space in the city, streets artists challenge the...conference paper 2009

Read, S.A. (author)The relation between the global and the local is the traditional concern of space syntax. A ‘form’ and a ‘structure’ of urban fabrics can be represented in images and graph measures using space syntax techniques and these images and measures correlate with observations of how people use and organize those urban fabrics. The implication is that...conference paper 2009

Van Nes, A. (author)The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it discusses how to analyse entire regions with the help of space syntax. Secondly, it demonstrates how a main route network through and between urban areas can be calculated in Depthmap. For this purpose one can combine angular choice with metrical distance and add various radiuses on top of each other...conference paper 2009
