Nederlandse Waterwerken Wereldwijd

Featured image

Nederland is een waterland. Al eeuwenlang weten Nederlanders hoe ze zich tegen water moeten beschermen. In Nederlandse Waterwerken Wereldwijd gaat architectuur- en landschapsfotograaf Luuk Kramer op reis om waterwerken van Nederlandse ingenieurs over heel de wereld te documenteren, van de zestiende eeuw tot nu. Van polders in Polen tot dijken en dammen in Japan, van kanalen in Brazilië tot een sluisje in Suriname. Op 12 september bespreken we Luuk Kramer zijn boek Nederlandse Waterwerken Wereldwijd. Daarna gaan we met verschillende gasten in gesprek over de invloed die Nederlanders internationaal hebben op de omgang met water.

LIVECAST: De sociale rekening van de energietransitie

Featured image

Wie betaalt de rekening van de energietransitie eigenlijk? Nu komen duurzame subsidies nog vooral bij hoge inkomensgezinnen terecht en voelen gezinnen met een lager inkomen duurzaam beleid relatief veel harder in hun portemonnee.

In Amsterdam Zuidoost is de energietransitie al volop aan de gang: het warmtenet wordt uitgebreid en burgerinitiatieven voor bijvoorbeeld alternatief gas ontstaan. Maar tegelijkertijd blijft isolatie vaak achter, stijgen energierekeningen en zijn er bewoners die de informatie niet begrijpen of vertrouwen.

Sociale gevolgen van de energietransitie
In deze LIVECAST gaan we in gesprek over de sociale gevolgen van de energietransitie. Hoe maken we de energietransitie rechtvaardiger, zodat het voor iedereen voordelig is om mee te doen? Een gesprek over klimaat en ongelijkheid aan de hand van voorbeelden uit Amsterdam Zuidoost.

Note van ASC: Like als je vindt dat meer mensen dit moeten lezen. De populairste berichten lichten we uit in onze Weekly nieuwsbrief.

ONLINE LIVECAST (WATCH NOW): Design from Inclusion -Products & Services

Featured image

In earlier episodes of Designing Cities for All, we have seen that design is everywhere and everything around us is designed. We have also seen that there are flaws in these designs, because what we tend to do in this world is design for the middle and forget about the margins. Wouldn’t we create and build stronger structures for everyone, when we design for the people who are actually living with the failures of our designed products, spaces, and systems?

Podcast: Founder of Pakhuis de Zwijger on shaping cities together

Featured image

In this episode Annick van Rinsum interviews Egbert Fransen: the founder and director of Pakhuis de Zwijger. He set up an unique regional, national and international podium which focuses on bringing people together who want to realise programs that contribute to a more sustainable, fair and future proof society.

Egbert Fransen: “It becomes more interesting if you bring people from different domains and different backgrounds together. My belief is very strong: creation and innovation take place in those places where you have heterogeneous groups of people. It is precisely not being equal, not thinking the same, that brings along innovation."

In these 56 minutes they share stories on:

• His entrepreneurial heart and motives
• The history and development of Pakhuis de Zwijger
• The recent rebranding and his plans for the upcoming 15th anniversary

Podcast #100: Egbert Fransen on shaping cities for everyone, by everyone (in Dutch)
