BK 7210 urbanism Rotterdam and the Delta – ir. Han Meyer

‘Slibsteden’ ‘slijtsteden’ en afgedamde stedenSilting, eroding and dammed cities

Typology urban patterns

Urban cores related to silting up processes- changing water-land relation makes construction harbour channels necessary

Harbour channels

New land

Urban cores related to strong currents-deep trenches ensure extreemly accassable harbours but also permanent maintanance

Main tranches with strong currents along the coast

Urban cores related to damming processes- long water connections are cut or interupted by waterlocks

Damming

Dammed water system
