Case study

INTERREG Europe: Smart Resilience for European Cities and Regions

Summary

Its main objective is improving policies for the delivery of innovation in public service applications to support and strengthen the capacity of cities and regions to prevent, resist, absorb and recover from societal and environmental risks/hazards (resilience). The project will be carried out between 2018-2022.

Additional case studies

Integrating adaptation and mitigation in design of new and old buildings, Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and Madrid in Spain

Summary

The old office building at Groot Willemsplein in Rotterdam dates back to the 1940s. Renovation gave it a new life with commercial functions on the ground floor and flexible office spaces on the other floors. The main tenant of the offices, the company Joulz, explicitly wanted a sustainable building for its headquarters.

In 2012, the energy department of the Institute for Advanced Studies (IMDEA) took possession of its new building in Madrid. The city expects even more extreme heat in summer, combined with water scarcity but occasional heavy rainfall. The new building incorporates many different integrated solutions to adapt to and mitigate climate change.
