RED & BLUE: Real Estate Development & Building in Low Urban Environments

Sea-level rise, land subsidence, extreme rain, and drought: climate change brings new risks for real estate and infrastructure, especially in urbanized, low-lying deltas. Our cities are valuable assets, as living environments, economic drivers and investment assets. Adaptation to a changing climate is crucial to retain these diverse values, especially for the most vulnerable. Trans-disciplinary knowledge for climate resilient urban investment and development is crucially needed. In this project, we bring investors, planners and managers of real estate and infrastructure, and academics from relevant disciplines together to co-develop an integrative climate governance strategy for a resilient Dutch delta.
