Convenings, exhibitions, and workshops at the intersection of climate, planning, and design — from Katowice to San Francisco, Amsterdam to Mumbai.
An interdisciplinary training event hosted by TU Delft
A 3-hour workshop bringing scientific planning support tools and methods to urban planners, policymakers, and civil servants — across socio-spatial equity, geographic data science, participatory co-design, and spatial tools for resilience. Co-organised with Dr. Nazli Yonca Aydin, supported by four TU Delft thematic labs.
Synthesis of the TU Delft Delta Urbanism Research Programme, 2016–2017
Exhibition and seminar reflecting on the Delta Interventions Studio's work in San Francisco Bay — a precursor to the BCDC's Resilience by Design competition. In collaboration with UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design, the studio addressed Bay Area's adaptive capacity to climate uncertainty through systems thinking, landscape dynamics, urban morphology, and adaptation pathways.
Strategic consultation with planning practitioners and policy experts
A methodology that combines model-based urban land-use simulations with design thinking to develop resilient spatial planning scenarios. Run as an exploratory expert design workshop with practitioners to align computational findings with local planning realities — testbed for spatial evidence on long-term urbanisation strategies.
Exhibition on collaborative design-engineering for Edogawa ward
Exhibited the Edogawa Water City and Parkway Edogawa design alternatives — proposals combining hydraulic engineering with spatial planning to reduce flood risk in one of Tokyo's most vulnerable wards. The exhibition framed the work alongside other contemporary responses to flooding in dense coastal regions.
Netherlands Consulate in Mumbai · SMART Water & Waste World
Invited talk: Planning for a Resilient Mumbai — translating Dutch delta-management practice for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's flood and subsidence challenges. A bilateral knowledge exchange between Dutch hydraulic expertise and Indian spatial planning practice.
Convening on urban risk and infrastructure resilience
Invited talk on urban risk and planning for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — set within CDRI's broader convening on resilient infrastructure across member nations. A bridging conversation between research, policy, and practice.
Available for invited talks, workshops, panel moderation, and exhibition contributions on climate, urban resilience, and futures planning.
