DRIFT contributes towards a Resilient City of Rotterdam
In 2015 and 2016, DRIFT has supported the City of Rotterdam in developing a strategy to increase Rotterdam’s resilience and make it more future-proof. The strategy is entitled Resilient Rotterdam. The DRIFT report describes the insights and outcomes of the activities DRIFT carried out during the process.
One of the aspects that were studied was the way in which innovative initiatives in the city contribute to increasing Rotterdam’s resilience. In addition, an initial step was taken towards the development of guiding principles and transition paths as a result of the co-creation process with the municipality.
Transition perspective
The synergy and the added value of the resilience objectives were incorporated in lessons and recommendations from the transition perspective. These recommendations are intended to support the progress of the process of increasing the resilience of the city in partnership with local residents, businesses and organizations. The development of the resilience strategy was the starting point for this process, initiated by the municipality in a reflexive learning process.
