1 Better Airport Regions URD-dag, 7 februari 2014 Andy van den Dobbelsteen, namens het BAR-team

2 Problem An airport is a focal point for flows: people, water, food, materials, energy and their respective wastes. The throughput of these flows is enormous and mostly linear: people, primary resources and products come from (far) outside the airport and waste is treated (far) away from the airport. This coincides with the squandering of energy, water and materials, whereas the airport as focal point is ideal to close and connect cycles and solve this in interaction with its region. This requires new technical, spatial, organisational and participative models for airports and their regions.

3 Presumption An improved reciprocity between an airport and its surrounding metropolitan region can offer a transformation path to more sustainable, better airport regions = 5 Rather than separation, zoning, efficiency and summing the BAR project is about integration, interaction, symbiosis and synergy. Isolated improvement makes 1 become 2. Improving the airport and improving the region then adds 2 to 2, with 4 as sum. Mutual benefits make 2 and 2 become 5. Even BETTER.

4 Domains of BETTER Basic (academic or professional) domains and the qualities we find essential to improved airport regions: Mobility accessibility and connectivity Organisation, policy and governance participation and regional reciprocity Economics benefaction and viability Spatial planning and design spatial and ecological quality, liveability Technology, technical flows circularity

5 Dimensions of circularity Linear flows that need to become circular can be considered in multiple dimensions: Flows and cycles (linear - 1D): defining normative rules for circularity (including economics!) Spatial planning and design (areas and volumes - 2D/3D): allocating circular systems Developments, scenarios and planning (time - 4D): planning the desired spatial configurations Stakeholders and society (the drivers of development, internalisation - 5D): making it happen In real life these are intertwined and possibly integrated.

6 Our vision for better airport regions A better airport region is well accessible and connected to both the world and local region; it has participatory and reciprocal relationships with its region, serving a viable economy that is beneficial to the local and global environment, offering excellent spatial and ecological quality and ensuring the best conditions for a liveable region, which is closely linked to the circularity of all essential flows in the region.

7 Project partners Central coordination Process: Geert-Jan Verkade (SBR CurNet) Content: Andy vd Dobbelsteen (TU Delft) Research team TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture TU Delft, Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management UvA ETH Zürich TU München Direct societal partners Schiphol Area Development Company Schiphol Group Municipality of Haarlemmermeer Zürich Airport City of Zürich City of Kloten Canton of Zürich Other partners Schiphol region entrepreneurs City of Amsterdam München Airport Various other European airports

8 Interaction with partners Visits and bilateral meetings Frequent stakeholder meetings Stakeholder conferences Participation in project presentation events Interviews, data collection and feedback of results Serious gaming Joint publications

25 Main insights Essential flows at the airport and the surrounding region The airport region as a potentially synergetic, symbiotic entity Design patterns for interventions in better airport regions New participative models through serious gaming The airport as hub for various sorts of mobility Using limitations and nuisance as a design challenge Future circumstances require a different planning paradigm Integrated area development of the future includes many more parameters, therefore needs to be based on complexity theory One can learn a lot from other airports In terms of connectivity, Schiphol is successful In terms of resources management, a lot can still be improved

26 Products Urban design elaborations of the Schiphol Airport region Scientific papers, expert articles and other publications Final report with the project s outcome Contribution to special Rooilijn issue Special issue on airports of S&RO Attractive book for the market with summarised results Separate books design pattern book international reference case book studio book Contribution to VerDus conference including outcomes of BAR (preferably) International conference on better airport regions

27 Impact New model for the approach of airport regions Different disciplines, originally separated, find each other Schiphol and Haarlemmermeer understand their opportunities better Complete inclusion of findings in Haarlemmermeer policy Local stakeholders have been challenged to cooperate and go beyond borders Other airports learn from the BAR approach and from Schiphol Desire to extend the approach to other airport/mainport regions
