Circular cities designing post-industrial Amsterdam the case of Buiksloterham
This book comprises five chapters that together offer insight into what we believe a circular city is, and which ingredients there are which can be used to contribute to this as a designer. It is a continuation of the previous study conducted by Metabolic, DELVA Landscape Architects and Studioninedots in the run-up towards the signing of the Circular Buiksloterham manifesto that expressed the ambition to develop the Buiksloterham district in Amsterdam North in a sustainable way. In this preliminary investigation, the metabolism, the context and the stakeholders were analyzed, and the possibilities for a circular Buiksloterham were investigated.
This investigation is aimed at the urban development and urban planning aspects of circular city-building. In short, the question is: how do you create the ideal breeding ground for the growth of the Circular City?
In chapter 1: “the circular city,” we search for the position that designers must take when searching for circular urbanity. The most important conclusions from the preliminary investigation from 2014 are summarized. We also add the specific handling of creating cities to that: providing space for initiatives that allow complex urbanity to develop, and we describe what the relationship of designing is to the dimensions of time and space. Together, these short explorations outline the framework of how the investigation team envisions Circular Urban Development.
The following three chapters respectively describe the three “layers” of which the new circular city consists. The lessons learnt in each chapter are summarized at the end of each chapter. Thus, three sets of repeatable principles relating to circular urban development arise. In the industrial age, such sweeping changes occurred in the landscape that it has both visibly and invisibly changed for a long period of time.
This bottom layer is the “new Genius Loci” (chapter 2) of the post-industrial area; the present physical framework within which new developments take place. On the basis of a number of themes, which are characteristic of the new post-industrial area, this new genius is described. Clever programming and operating of the circular city ensures that the circular city continuously exists in a state of renewal, that its inhabitants will continuously be searching for new, possible circular connections and applications, and that there will be a broad base of support for the large-scale application of existing sustainable techniques.
In the chapter 3 “Programming for circularity,” four case studies in which circularity played a major role from the start of the planning stage are used to search for the planning tools that are needed to arrive at a resilient circular city. Matters such as ownership and community building, urban developmental setup, experimentation versus feasibility are relevant here. We also look at those key moments that led to the high levels of ambition characteristic of each of these projects. In this manner, the case studies provide a set of insights that contribute to the programming and development of circular city parts.
In chapter 4: “Building blocks for the post-industrial circular city,” promising physical applications that can lead to a circular, post-industrial city are listed. By limiting ourselves to the four themes Soil, Water, Transportation and Buildings, we focus on applications that have a spatial impact and can be of added value, and which specifically apply to post industrial areas. For each application, we describe what possible exchanges could be, and what logical locations for such exchanges are in Buiksloterham. On the one hand, this has led to a set of self-evident locations for new circular interventions in Buiksloterham; on the other hand, it has provided a number of more general principles that designers can add to their instrumentarium when developing circular cities. The three chapters are the prelude of a synthesis in chapter 5: “Towards the circular city.” In this chapter, the spatial impact of bringing together the three layers (Genius Loci – circular applications – smart programming) of the circular post-industrial city is investigated. We also analyse what the factor time can mean in this.
