Housing

In an urban environment such as the Deltas, the possibility of an increase of long lasting periods with extreme temperatures can cause unbearable heat to its citizens. Climate change has its effects here as well.

Because of a lack of protection and cooling off possibilities the comfort of those in domestic, commercial and public buildings will be reduced.

In the perspective of climate change, a growing demand and use of energy can be expected in deltas. Do we need new regulations for constructing buildings? And how can we adapt buildings to increasing rainfall? How to adapt drainage systems? What opportunities for housing emerge due to climate change?
