Delta Cities are getting bigger
Globally attract more people to delta cities and this trend is continuing. In 2050, probably more than 6 billion people live in a city that is located within a radius of 200 kilometers of ocean. These cities are historically linked and play a role in global trade and flows of goods. How do we ensure that these gigantic cities remain dry, livable, sustainable and safe? Because 80% of these cities is vulnerable to earthquakes and 60% is threatened by storm surges and tsunamis. What is the role of Dutch engineers and how we apply our knowledge to local foreign circumstances?
During KIVI Delta Cities Annual Conference on 12 November at the TU Delft we look to include planning, circular economy, engineering and smart ICT solutions.
