About the Book
Infrastructure forms the backbone of our society – from roads and railways to waterworks and ports – as critical part of vital systems for mobility, water and space. But that backbone is under strain. Ageing systems, climate change and scarce resources force us to rethink fundamentally how we design, use and value infrastructure. This Design Guide starts with one urgent question: how can we make infrastructure future-proof in a world of uncertainty? It introduces integrated approaches in which design, engineering, policy and societal value come together through a wide range of inspiring examples related to urban and regional accessibility and development, spatial quality, flood protection, and ecological restoration. The book demonstrates how infrastructure can be more than merely a functional system. It becomes a driver of societal value and prosperity, and a strategic instrument that connects quality of life, sustainability and economic development. This Design Guide offers a clear conceptual framework to understand and design infrastructure that is not only more efficient, but also more sustainable, inclusive and meaningful. Drawn from thematical insights and lessons, and applicable methods, techniques and strategies by a broad range of scientists and professionals of practice with a background architecture, urban development and design, landscape architecture, civil engineering, economics, governance or policy. A substantial and indispensable guide for designers, engineers and policymakers committed to shaping the infrastructure and the society of tomorrow.
About the Contributors
Authors
Hans de Boer was closely involved in the set- and build-up of the interfaculty organisation of DIMI as secretary and later on as coordinator for the theme of Future (proof) Built Environment & Urban Infrastructures, and as coordinator of the minor Integrated Infrastructure Design (IID). He has a theoretical background in computer science and public administration, and a long-term working experience within the domains of automation, organisation, management, and policy. Pursuing, the application of interdisciplinary- and cross-sectoral collaboration and integrated design in various design studies for urban and infrastructure development with practitioners and within the minor program with students.
Mark Voorendt is a lecturer in the design of hydraulic structures, the integration of engineering and spatial design and coastal fieldwork. He obtained his PhD for his thesis on the design of multifunctional flood defences. He teaches and supervises both research and design topics but mostly design because that is where he can best contribute to the needs of students and the sector. Moreover, that is the field he feels driven to dedicate himself to.
Affiliated to the chair of Urban Design at TU Delft, Maurice Harteveld maintains an uninterrupted focus on public space. He contributed to DIMI’s 2016 City of the Future initiative and established the multidisciplinary graduation lab under the same title, linking students with practice partners to challenge mayor transitions of our times. His work promotes integrated design perspectives on infrastructure, mobility, water, governance and urban life, as reflected in his recent Nature publication. He also leads research within Mixed Methods and Design Strategies of the LDE Centre for PortCityFutures.
