Abstract

The intersection of effects of climate change, urbanism and communal action provides an opportunity for architects and planners to reinforce the complex system of cities by challenging current norms and empowering residents with tools to influence spatial form that they interact with. Going forward solutions that demand a conservative use of current resources while pushing consumers to change their habits are needed for our civilization to sustain. Urbanism is a pivotal point in this journey as it represents both a conservation strategy as well as a lifestyle change. Through urban form analysis, the project explores designing for resilience and diversity in our cities so that we are better equipped to deal unforeseeable changes in the future. An interpretation of corridors as an adaptive framework in cities is explored within the context of Tilburg, Netherlands.
