Redesigning Deltas design study and a manifesto for the ‘new Dutch delta’

The power of design is to be able to see beyond the existing reality and push its boundaries to new sustainable futures. It enables change in ways of doing that created the existing reality in the first place. It creates change. Redesigning Deltas investigates this power of interdisciplinary design in which urban, landscape, and engineering disciplines project a future on the basis of the natural and spatial qualities of the Dutch Delta. Redesigning Deltas is a collaboration involving the Delta Urbanism group and various faculties of the TU Delft, the Delta program, Deltares, Resilient Delta, Erasmus University, Wageningen University, and PBL. Redesigning Deltas employed several activities in 2022 of which one is the design study.
