Real Estate Development & Building in Low Urban Environments

Real estate and infrastructure systems are increasingly impacted by physical climate risks posed by sea level rise, heat waves, and other threats like more frequent and intense storms. Such climate risks cause broad and interconnected social, economic, and political concerns about the stability of markets and society at large. The Netherlands is one of the countries where the quality and value of the built environment are under climate-driven pressures, especially in the low lying, vulnerable, yet densely populated areas of the country. Alternative to full retreat scenarios, expected effects of climate change on vibrant cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam call for spatial investments and innovations from governments, firms, and citizens alike. To do this wisely, the complex relationships between climate change, real estate, and infrastructure need to be intricately understood. The Red&Blue research program aims to do just that.
