Description
The shifting focus from the development of Dutch metropolis to the Eurodelta megaregion represents a paradigm shift in spatial planning, emphasizing the need for collaborative, interscalar approaches to address complex challenges. The Eurodelta, a non-formalized metropolitan scale, offers unique opportunities for redefining governance and planning practices beyond traditional administrative boundaries. This presentation explores why the Eurodelta scale is crucial in fostering climate transitions and enhancing resilience, while crossing several borders of sectors, administration, values, planning systems and governance. This presentation calls for a critical discussion on how interscalar and collaborative approaches can drive transformative resilience strategies, offering a new exploration of the evolving roles of planners and designers.
Drawing on lessons from Dutch spatial planning, the presentation highlights scenario-based methodologies, interscalar and integrative design and planning practices that address climate challenges and socioeconomic transitions. This presentation will emphasise on informal planning procedures research by design approaches, frameworks for shared knowledge and exchange, fostering an interplay across scales and sectors. By shifting the focus toward the changing roles of designers and planners, the presentation aims to spark a dialogue on innovative approaches to resilience. How can planning evolve to navigate the complexities of climate transitions and ensure equitable outcomes? What new methods and collaborations are needed to create adaptable, future-proof megaregions? This dialogue seeks to exchange knowledge and ideas across disciplines and regions, advancing the global conversation on crossing borders for resilience and sustainable spatial development.
