• Overview

The program Water and Ports, Historic Cities and Landscapes comprises two courses: (Re)Imagining Port Cities and Water Works. The program examines the many factors that will result in the sustainable development of port cities. It lays the foundations for shaping the present and designing the future of historic cities in socially and environmentally acceptable ways. Essentials are an understanding of architectural and urban form and function; respect for history and heritage and connecting with institutional and cultural aspects of the communities with whom decision-making about spatial development must be shared.

The courses focus on themes that are key challenges as identified in the UN SDGs dealing with Water and Cities. The first course applies these to port city regions and the second course to water systems in historic cities and landscapes.

The courses speak to the needs and interests of port and city professionals, water managers, as well as heritage professionals and students of the built environment. Participants in this program will gain advanced insights into the spatial, social and cultural dimensions of water, ports and historic cities internationally. You will use a transdisciplinary and integrated approach towards resolving urban challenges. You will integrate a technology-based vision with social and cultural approaches which support TU Delft’s mission statement: Impact for a Better Society and the goals of the LDE PortCityFutures Centre to increase port city and water awareness. You will experiment with diverse tools to engage multiple stakeholders in developing a greater understanding of the role of water in the design of future cities and landscapes. - Job outlook

• Participants will gain advanced insight into the multifaceted physical and societal relationships between water and cities.
• They will experience diverse methodologies for a transdisciplinary and integrated approach towards resolving urban challenges.
• They will learn to integrate a technology-based vision with social and cultural approaches.
• Real career impact

"Port and city professionals, water managers, and heritage professionals need to develop new ways of dealing with the conflicting needs and interests of all stakeholders involved in water systems.  This involves integrating technological, spatial, social and cultural approaches which with a better understanding of the historical and heritage value of these areas form the key to sustainable development.\ This program will help participants make better planning decisions about the development of socially, economically and environmentally sustainable cities and communities." -Dr. Arjan Conijn, expert in water heritage at Witteveen+Bos engineers and consultants - Qualifications
