Webinar programme
In the first webinar a framework of combined urban and delta development has been developed.
Now it will be further developed by in depth analysis of two cases: Hatirjheel in Dhaka and Lentse Bocht in Nijmegen. Both used the urban natural system as a basis for urban development, combining different investments in reducing flood risks and ameliorating green and urban quality.
