Inaugural address Anne Loes Nillesen: Climate Adaptation; an Act of Design
The water and soil system has traditionally been an important basis for the development of mostly densely populated delta areas. Climate change also changes the existing conditions of the water and soil system; this has an impact on the future spatial economic compositions of deltas and their land use. On 8 November, Professor Anne Loes Nillesen (Urbanism) will give her inaugural address ‘Climate Adaptation; an Act of Design’.
Adapting to climate change is therefore an important spatial design challenge. These changes are more drastic than often suspected, but can also offer great opportunities for inspiring new visions of the future.
During her inaugural address ‘Climate Adaptation; an Act of Design’, Anne Loes Nillesen shows national and international examples of design research in which options for climate adaptation are explored and visualised at all scales (from Delta system to neighbourhood level). This also reveals important bottlenecks and strategic choices; how can you as a designer contribute to a future-proof design and adaptation of cities and regions?
