Floods are one of the most significant hazards in Europe. Extreme inundations threaten urban living in cities. To protect cities from flooding and other types of inundations, traditional government-led flood protection needs to be complemented by homeowners’ adaptation. Now, especially homeowners lack risk awareness, and knowledge of measures and triggers to take action. This project aims to design, test and implement a smart governance tool—the FLOODLABEL—in urban living labs. This prototype tool serves to inform homeowners about their individual flood risks and to support the planning and decision-making of experts and local governments to achieve more flood-resilient cities.
The aim of this project is to implement informal planning procedures (test-planning) in concrete locations on the Corridor 24 transportation network. In this way, an informal planning procedure in the Wesel region in Germany has been promoted by the regional association Ruhr together with municipalities along the German part of the Betuwe railway line
One Corridor - One Strategy
Joint regional development for the north-south corridor
The INTERREG IVB NWE Project “CODE24 – Corridor Development Rotterdam-Genoa” (2010-2015) aimed at a joint integrated approach towards the future development of the TEN-T core network corridor Rhine-Alpine and intended the interconnection of economic development, spatial, transport and ecological planning and thus, addressing urgent conflicts of capacity, sustainability and quality of life along the corridor.
After five years, the CODE24 project partners presented a common strategy for the future development of the Rhine-Alpine Corridor, the main transport corridor of Europe.
The European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation “Interregional Alliance for the Rhine-Alpine Corridor EGTC” shall continue the strategic initiative of CODE24 for the securing of a long-term partnership and cooperation beyond the limited INTERREG project period.
My doctoral (PhD) research project is part of the INTERREG-IVB project, called: ‘Corridor 24 Development Rotterdam-Genoa: Joint regional development for the north-south corridor’. The specific interest of my research will be on the interconnection of land use and transportation issues in planning for transport corridors, focussing on spatial integration and the mobilisation of actors and stakeholders at the local and regional level
