Zakopane experiences mass tourism, which supports economic growth but also reduces the quality of life in the city. This is mainly due to the developed car dependency, the lack of coordination between spatial development and infrastructure, and the systemic promotion of private property at the expense of the public good, which is a phenomenon characteristic of post-communist countries. Zakopane needs a transformation of the mobility system in terms of reducing the presence of cars in public spaces in the city while developing a mobility system that includes the spatial specificity of the various urban fabrics in the city (Newman & Kenworthy, 2015). Only by changing the transport system the liveability of public space can be regained. Given the housing shortage in the city, the development of sustainable mobility also requires a sustainable development perspective. The strategy of spatial transformation towards sustainable mobility and development must be adapted to neoliberal administrative conditions with limited public budgets and weak bargaining power. Thanks to the method of research through design as “strongly contextualised research that participates in society” (Nowotny et al. 2010) , with the active participation of the stakeholders, a mobility system transformation strategy was developed based on the perspective of regional cooperation of local tourist municipalities, motivated by a special program of integrated territorial investments. Strategic actions in the long term, including the improvement of spatial quality, have to take into account other partnerships to achieve the goals: cooperation with the private sector. Strategic actions for improving the quality of public space require both new regulations for its formation and a decision-making system enabling the cooperation of various actors, which have been developed through the simulation of the pilot project. Thanks to this approach, the strategies for shaping the urban space, its regulations, and the way of implementation have been explored - together with the demonstration of how the needed transformations could look like in reality.

The province of South-Holland is located in a delta, where the Netherlands have been changing the landscape for centuries to keep out the water and create the productive, highly urbanised and well connected landscape it is now. Due to climate change, the water system brings about an increasing pressure in both the rivers as well as the sea. In addition, economic and demographic growth pressure the agricultural production system and urban system. Instead of reclaiming land from sea and rivers, this report aims to find a a collaboration between the three sectors. It will enable the people of South-Holland to work together with the water and create a more balanced landscape. To create this balanced landscape, this project researches the possibility of protecting the province of South-Holland from climate change while producing sufficient food and keeping the region livable. Three systems (water, agriculture and urbanisation) are analysed on both their individual system as well as the synergies between them. Using these three systems, a vision and strategy are formed for South-Holland in 2100, where the landscape is transformed into a water based productive landscape in which the synergies between the three elements are key. This landscape ensures the realisation of three goals: 1. Productivity by creating dense agricultural hubs, 2. Safety from the water for the whole province, and 3. Livability for the people by creating healthy and desirable densifying urban systems. A toolkit of six intervention typologies is created with a focus on innovation in water, agriculture and/ or urbanisation while keeping a liveable environment. By implementing the interventions on the synergies between systems they create the balanced landscape. This landscape results in the need for a healthier and local diet for the inhabitants and the creation of new green and blue infrastructure will increase liveability. Additionally the food economy of the region will be more efficient and resilient.
