Delta Urbanism is a discourse in which flood protection, soil and water management strategies are synergised with urban design, landscape architecture and spatial planning. Founded on the interdisciplinary approach, in which design and engineering disciplines activate innovation in design, technology and governance, Delta Urbanism has international impact as it tackles global issues of the environmental crisis. The Delta Urbanism Discourse is characterised by a body of knowledge organised into four research premises, which emphasise the agency of design and technology and the development of specific methods of analysis, design, visualisation and interdisciplinary work: ‘Land-Water-Atmosphere Continuum’, ‘Drawing the Delta’, ‘Reversed Engineering with Nature’, and ‘Extremes’.
You can find this Open Access journal online at jdu.tudelft.nl; from January 2021 hardcopies by means of printing on demand will also be available.
