Erwin Heurkens, 5 May 2019, BK Research Week In order to sustain and facilitate change towards a circular built environment, a territorial governance approach must be considered which integrates multi-level and cross-sectoral features of governance. This presentation sets out the main governance challenges faced and current CE transitions in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. These findings…
Although publication of a vast amount of socially responsible investment policies suggests that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a common feature in today’s global real estate industry, in practice and research, the meaning and implementation of CSR principles remains largely unclear.

Het realiseren van klimaatdoelen is complex, omdat er vaak een gat bestaat tussen beleidsintenties en acties. Gebiedsontwikkeling kan een belangrijke drager zijn voor de implementatie van energiebeleid. Door in gebieden energie-oplossingen te integreren, leveren zij een bijdrage aan de energietransitie. In dit artikel laat onderzoeker Erwin Heurkens (TU Delft, Gebiedsontwikkeling) zien hoe gemeenten in Denemarken,…

Governing climate mitigation is complex, as the recurring gap between policy intentions and actions exhibits. Interventions at the urban scale represent an opportunity to implement energy policy targets. Urban development projects can function as carrier to implement innovative energy solutions as ‘by-product’. To do so, planners must proactively and strategically deploy planning instruments to influence…
Cities all over the world are searching for ways to become more resilient to climate change effects and related economic challenges.
