On-demand services and public transport networks – the prospects of synergy
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Andres Fielbaum, TU Delft
On-demand services in which a fleet of vehicles is coordinated online to serve an emerging demand that is not known beforehand, can have a great potential in providing good quality of service and efficient operations. By integrating the on-demand services into the public transport systems, these services can obtain synergetic effects. In other words, by providing not only traditional fixed-routes lines but also offering vehicles with flexible routes when this increases the overall efficiency of the system. Designing such an integrated system entails several methodological and operational challenges, such as how to design the routes of both sub-systems, which fleets to offer, where to provide the flexible services, and how to deal with the transfers. The main purpose of this special session is to discuss some recent works in this realm, in order to identify what are the main developments and remaining challenges.

Thomas Schönberger, German Federal Institute For Research On Building, Urban Affairs And Spatial Development
While there are more and more tangible visions of what a new virtual dimension of urban life might look like, many questions remain open on what such trends imply for our current urban sub-systems, i.e. mobility, food, energy, etc. With our experience of working in virtual meeting spaces during the last two years during the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of tech giants are now dreaming up more sophisticated virtual spaces which may become the next evolutionary step of the internet and at the same time cities like Seoul are planning to make public services more accessible by offering fully contactless communication in a responsive manner. In this workshop, we would like to introduce the participants to plausible urban challenges of a scenario with fully digital public services and virtual work spaces. Next, small groups of participants will get the chance to develop ideas on challenges for a particular urban sub-system to explore how these developments can lead to more equitable and sustainable cities. To validate the results of this group exercise, the teams will then critically reflect on each other's ideas, while thinking of potential synergies and conflicts that arise when those ideas are combined. Finally, the participants will be able to pitch their final ideas to a group of selected practitioners to learn from their feedback. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is the collective generation of knowledge on what it takes to plan effectively for changing urban patterns driven by technological advances for public services and virtual work spaces.

MET Forum: Bike-sharing Futures in Amsterdam
Track : Special Sessions
Amsterdam leads the world in terms of bike use for transportation, yet bike-sharing was restricted in regulation over the last couple of years after the city faced a dump of bike-sharing operators for which the city was not prepared. Now, bike-sharing is back, at least in a pilot phase, including bikes and e-cargo bikes. With this recent development, the time is right to discuss them. A panel composed of representatives from the bike-sharing operators, the municipality, and academics will discuss the following topics: (1) challenges and opportunities in operations and policy, (2) bike-sharing vs bike ownership, (3) equity and gender Inclusion within different districts, and (4) data sharing.

Inclusive and sustainable design of the ArenAPoort energy system
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Sanne Akerboom, Utrecht University
Arjen Van Der Meer, TU Delft // AMS Institute
The city of Amsterdam mirrors the ambitious climate goals of the Dutch government as set in the klimaatwet (climate law). The large variety in the nature of Amsterdam's districts, ranging from the monumental city centre to industrial areas to mixed residential and commercial quarters makes the implementation into a unified energy transition immensely complex. Complexity that is amplified by other urban aspects like spatial limitations, poverty, policy, and the accelerated electrification of the urban energy system. It is hence the question how the concerted efforts by all local stakeholders can be sparked to accelerate the transition. The LIFE city platform project aims to resolve some of these societal challenges with technological innovations (data-driven approaches, digital twinning, market models), and to facilitate the techno-economic design of the energy system with novel governance structures in which participation plays a pivoting role. Centred around the ArenAPoort (A'dam) and Schiebroek (R'dam) areas, various technical, social, and economical aspects of inclusive urban energy system design are covered, such as: * the implementation of (regional) energy strategies into the cities * improved participation of local stakeholder (energy corporations, municipalities, VVEs, energy suppliers) into the design and operation of energy systems * novel approaches to trace, manage, and visualise energy exchanges in mixed commercial/residential areas * optimised design and operation of present electricity systems and local heat solutions, and future energy systems using data-driven approaches (digital twinning) * the design, development and roll-out of new local energy services In this special session the current state-of-the-art of the above items will be presented (4 á 5 presentations ) followed by a panel session on the approach taken in LIFE CP. The is targeted to societal and academic stakeholders with the main goal of informing about the methodology and obtaining constructive feedback from the participants.

Multifunctional neighbourhood hubs for liveable cities
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Bram Kin, Researcher, TNO
Susanne Balm, Amsterdam University Of Applied Sciences
The increased density of cities requires authorities, citizens and businesses to rethink how the available space is allocated and how transport is organised. The concept of 'compact cities' envisions high residential density, a mixed range of functions in neighbourhoods that promote social interaction, low car dependency and reduced emissions. How are goods and services delivered in compact cities? 'Neighbourhood hubs' could contribute to reducing the carbon and spatial footprint of urban freight transport, by transshipping and consolidating deliveries on a neighbourhood level. At the same time, these physical locations can add value by providing social and economic services that contribute to the liveability of neighbourhoods. Examples of potential functions are: shared e-mobility, recycling disposal point, do-it-yourself machinery rental, co-working spaces, or social work. Multifunctional hubs that combine logistical, societal and economic functions have hardly ever been studied nor implemented. Questions in this regard are: which functions can be integrated in a hub? How to create added value to private and public organisations and the local community? What business models are suitable? And what are the design and implementation criteria? A variety of potential users of the hub have been identified: citizens, employees, shop-owners, logistics services providers, technical service providers, suppliers of food and/or non-food products, and waste collectors. Like the research project of AUAS and TNO, the conference session will be practically oriented by discussing two case studies. This is done in collaboration with: 1) Business Association WEST in Groningen and 2) Business Investment Zone Knowledge Mile in Amsterdam.

Nighttime heat - a workshop on data and maps needed to adapt cities to increasing nighttime heat
Track : Workshops
Speakers
Lisette Klok, Researcher/lecturer Urban Climate Adaptation, Amsterdam University Of Applied Sciences
Jeroen Kluck, HvA
Municipalities have to make choices about making their cities heat-resilient. Also architects and building managers become more and more aware that they need to take into account the consequences of heat events and increased indoor temperatures. To understand the problems of extreme heat, several temperature maps have been developed for the Netherlands: 1) maps with the perceived temperature during a hot day, 2) maps with the urban heat island effect and 3) maps with the number of warm nights. Maps showing the perceived temperature during a hot day are useful to point out cool spots and areas with high heat stress that could be designed more heat-resilient. Maps with nighttime temperatures are especially relevant to indicate problems related to indoor climate, health and labor productivity. However, there are quite a few uncertainties in the design and the use of the current map of number of warm nights that exists for the Netherlands. First of all, it can be argued if the number of warm nights is the best indicator to understand the problems related to nighttime heat. And if so, could this indicator also be used as a basis for guidelines to reduce problems related to nighttime heat or for formulating heat-resilient ambitions? Or should other climate indicators or maps be used instead? Knowledge about nighttime temperatures and its spatial variation in cities is for instance important to understand if specific urban areas are more vulnerable with respect to nighttime heat and increased indoor temperatures. Information on nighttime temperatures is also needed to assess the options for natural window ventilation to reduce indoor temperatures and to understand to what extent the urban heat island effect or the percentage of greenery influences the cooling potential of homes or other buildings in a city. It is likely that the number of warm nights is not the appropriate indicator to examine this. For this workshop we will invite scientists, experts and urban professionals (from among others universities, knowledge institutes, housing corporations, national and local governments and consultancies) to discuss the needs for information and maps on nighttime air temperatures to make cities heat resilient. The desired outcome of this workshop is a description of a map or data on nighttime temperatures to include in the climate impact atlas (https://www.klimaateffectatlas.nl/). Besides, this workshop may also lead to a joint research proposal for making a new nighttime temperature map.

Co-designing urban futures with the public
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Roy Bendor, Dept. Of Human-Centered Design, Delft University Of Technology
This special session will bring together artists, designers and researchers to consider how the public can be meaningfully brought into urban transition initiatives. The point of departure for the session is that efforts to transform urban systems often neglect to include the public, resulting in urban futures (and technologies) that are envisioned and created in a top-down matter by industry and government. The conference's call for papers (especially the theme "co-designing the system") is evidence of this, mentioning "Science, industry partners and policymakers" but not the public (neither as organizations, nor as communities or individuals). The session will gather multiple perspectives on the roles the public can and should play in envisioning and promoting urban futures, with an emphasis on creative, imaginative or speculative approaches for urban co-creation. Such approaches serve to promote equitable public inclusion in urban development processes, while aiming to "stretch" the public's imagination of how the city may take shape in the future. The session will be relevant (and hopefully attract) all conference attendants, but especially those whose work is public facing and therefore reliant on public acceptance or buy-in. Session participants will present public engagement projects initiated by universities, hooghschools, and civil society organizations, with a focus on Amsterdam. The length of the session (90 or 180 minutes) will be decided according the number of confirmed speakers (5 at minimum), and will be preferably held on-site. The language will be English.

Session 1: Explain initiatives (60 min): AMS Institute: Alexander Laarman After a short introduction by the City of Amsterdam, an overview is given of the quantity, quality and impact of urban food waste in Amsterdam, including a hot-spots analysis for organic waste valorization. Next, an overview will be given of the governance opportunities and challenges related to the collection of organic waste streams in the City of Amsterdam. Finally, the behavioral aspects and perspective of organic waste will be presented, i.e. how to measure organic waste at the household level and which behavioral interventions might drive consumers to reduce and collect organic waste. In a virtual Miro session, experts will provide their research results and participants can comment, react and/or question these findings. Research contributors: Xuezhen Guo, Marta Rodriguez Illera, Daniel Polman, Stephanie Begemann, Erica van Herpen and Joana Wensing. Session 2: Explore Connections (60 min), Green Campus: Niek Persoon In the second session of the workshop, we aim to bring together the knowledge of all participating stakeholders to create a shared understanding of the topic. Therefore, we will interactively create a map with all relevant factors that drive the amount of organic waste in cities, discuss how these factors relate to each other, and identify strategies to move the system towards more circularity.

Climate Adaptation and Health: potential and pitfalls in urban bathing
Track : Workshops
Speakers
Bas Van Der Zaan, Deltares
Suzanne Van Der Meulen, WUR, Deltares
Bathing in open water is becoming increasingly popular in Dutch cities due to urban redevelopment and rising temperatures because of climate change. Some municipalities welcome this as a healthy use of urban water. At selected locations, recreational use of open water is facilitated; these formal bathing sites have facilities like stairs to climb out of the water, have been selected for their minimal physical risks like strong flow or heavy water traffic, and the microbial water quality is regularly monitored. However, many other urban locations are attractive for recreation too, and these are used 'illegally' at sunny and warm days, when many people can be found in the water. At these locations, people might have increased risk for both health and safety. Another upcoming phenomenon is the "city swim events", massive long-distance swimming events in urban waterways, with related health and safety issues. Responsibilities for such locations and activities are unclear. Information on the potential risks and possibilities for recreation in open urban water would be useful for swimmers and other recreational users, as well as for municipalities and water boards. The workshop will be a combination of sharing information on the risks and possibilities for bathing in open urban water by specialists from science and practice, and an open discussion on the bottlenecks and options to facilitate or discourage swimming. How can information on risks better be shared, and what knowledge is still unknown and needs research. Deltares will facilitate the workshop/session and invite various speakers to share their view and knowledge on safe urban water recreation. Deltares brings to the workshops its expertise on monitoring water quality by citizen science, as done in "The Clean Water Experiment Amsterdam" and "Almere Meet Water". Furthermore, we share the results of a recent study, including an overview of various measure that can be taken to reduce the risks of urban open water recreation.

Code the Streets
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Tom Kuipers
Cities worldwide are working on how to use digital tools to improve the use of public space. In the AMS' Code the Streets project, cities, mobility providers and research institutes have worked on created a digital street map, which includes societal values for route optimization. Sharing information (by cities) on the desired use of streets to mobility providers can help in creating more liveable, safer and sustainable spaces and can help influencing the behaviour to e.g. avoid school zones at certain times. In this session, results of the project will be shared, as well as a future vision for Code the Streets will be presented, including how more/other types of values can be implemented in the digital street map and . We envision an interactive and lively (online) debate with speakers, contributors and audience on the lessons learned and potential next step and usage of such a digital street map and its effects on cities and citizens. This session touches upon several domains and thus will be relevant and interesting for a broad audience, from behavioural sciences and social sciences, to mobility (management) and experts on digitization. Furthermore the focus on collaborating between different types of stakeholders will interest governmental, research and business partners.

Positive Energy Districts 2040 Symposium: One Vision, Multiple Pathways
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Kostas Galanakis, Nottingham Trent University
The Smart BEEjS Symposium focuses in two areas of interest that derive from our collaborative research outputs: 1.The SET Plan priority action for EU to establish 100 Positive Energy Districts across EU by 2025; 2.The need for the energy transformation to be just and inclusive, avoiding the creation of a new generation of inequalities and energy injustice. These areas cut across the efforts for decarbonisation of the energy system and raise the importance of the local context and socio-economic background for any policy or technological-based intervention. The symposium aims at interdisciplinary researchers, practitioners and policy makers at local and national level, mindful of the individual and social dimensions of decarbonisation efforts at local level.

Co-developing a multi-functional nature-based solutions planning tool
Track : Workshops
Speakers
Alida Alves Beloqui, Wageningen University & Research
Wei-Shan Chen
The goal of the session is to inform urban stakeholders about our recent research on Nature-based solutions (NBS) and invite them to work with us on co-developing a multi-functional NBS planning tool. Since 2019, the Environmental Technology group of Wageningen University has worked under the European project RainSolutions to develop a decision making tool that can optimally select and allocate NBS to maximise their multiple benefits in urban areas, using the City of Amsterdam as a case. This tool considers different climate adaptation objectives, such as runoff management and heat stress mitigation, and helps to select measures to cope with this problems in urbans spaces, allowing the target of multiple objectives at the same time. A prototype of this tool is ready and plans for expanding and building up on this prototype are being made. However, it is important to discuss with potential users of this tool, and the knowledge obtained through it, what would be the practicality of this tool and how to improve it. The workshop will be planed as a co-evaluation session of the prototype obtained and as a co-creation session for the final design of this tool. In particular, the usefulness of multi-objective approaches for long term planning processes will be discussed. This workshop aims to improve the applicability of climate adaptation research to help decision processes of urban stakeholders, like municipalities and local business, improving future collaboration.

How to embed urban hubs in a sustainable way? 5 perspectives providing more insight
Track : Special Sessions
Speakers
Paul Den Otter, Advisor, MRA Platform Smart Mobility
Chrétienne Hoek, MRA Smart Mobility Platform
Mobility hubs, both for passenger transport as logistics, are getting a lot of attention lately. Hubs are seen as the ideal solution to create more liveable, sustainable and accessible cities. But the path to successfully build mobility hubs is far from being smoothed. There are still many challenges, dilemmas and uncertainties to which answers must be found. Questions that don't apply to hubs only but also to the surrounding environment, which is just as important. How does smart infrastructure looks like to and between mobility hubs? What type of mobility hubs and which services offered at those hubs are desirable? What are challenges on digitization creating a mobility hub? The platform Smart Mobility of the metropolitan region of Amsterdam, provides more insights on how to work on successful hub development introducing five perspectives: Smart Infra, Mobility as a Service, Smart Logistics, Spatial planning and Digitization. During this interactive workshop we will share knowledge and insights we have gained, including the dilemmas we encounter along the way. Together with the workshop participants, we will discuss how these dilemmas can be resolved. By this we gain new insights that are required to create future-proof hubs as an important building block for sustainable mobility.

How can AI help to reduce Co2? 6 European cities and 40 companies collaborated to find out | learn more about the 2 winning pilots
Track : Workshops
Speakers
Mark Stoevelaar, Project Coordinator, CTO Innovatieteam
Anja Reimann, CTO Innovatieteam
Amsterdam participates in the European project AI4Cities. The main purpose for participation is to make Amsterdam more sustainable. During the project, Amsterdam has worked with 5 other participating cities and 40 companies, focused on finding the best fitting AI solutions within 2 lots: Mobility and Energy. From March 2022, the 6 best companies, equally divided over the lots, will organize a pilot in two of the cities. Amsterdam will host one mobility pilot and one energy pilot. The workshop starts with a general presentation. During this presentation, participants will be informed about the background of the project, the progress that has been made so far, the different types of solutions, collaboration between the cities and more. Second, two co-creation breakout sessions will be set up: one for the mobility pilot, one for the energy pilot. During these breakouts, participants are invited to share thoughts, experiences and theories about setting up pilots, thereby considering the Amsterdam situation. The input will contribute to determining the piloting strategy, potential (side)effects and impact monitoring of the results. At the end of the sessions, the breakouts will be merged again and the most prominent insights will be briefly discussed. In the last part of the workshop, an open discussion on required policy interventions that could stimulate the uptake of innovative (AI) solutions will be held. Amsterdam will moderate this session through several statements, and will encourage participants to share their thoughts. The main goal is to identify the potential risks and benefits of policy changes to stimulate an innovative AI climate.
