Platform31 RESEARCH PROGRAMME – Overview of projects

“Knowledge for Strong Cities”(Kennis voor Krachtige Steden)

March 2013

Since the start of the research programme, ‘Knowledge for Strong Cities’ (Kennis voor

Krachtige Steden), a large number of research projects has been generated. These projects

have been developed by socalled projectconsortia – partnerships of university researchers and

urban professionals. Platform31 aims at both high quality research and relevance for the

cities. This overview presents all projects in the Nicis research programme. For more

Title: 2008-07 | Dilemmas of accountability and transparency cultures Project leader: Prof. mr. dr. Hans de Bruijn (Delft University of Technology)

Content: This project addresses the issue if performance management and

performance indicators. Why is it so popular? Under what conditions is

performance management a policy instrument with obvious additional advantages, and under what conditions does it only distort and bureaucratise matters?

Partners: Cities of Haarlem, Amsterdam, Schiedam; the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Researchers: Prof. mr. dr. Hans de Bruijn and dr. Milou Beerepoot (Delft University of Technology)

Period: August 2008 – April 2010

Title: 2008-08 | Authority issues surrounding the municipal organisation Project leader: Prof. mr. dr. Hans de Bruijn (Delft University of Technology)

Content: This project is about the management role in the city, whereby municipalities

are strongly dependent on a multitude of organizations, lack clear steering

possibilities, (3) but nevertheless are held responsible for the desired social and/or economic results. How can local government operate and steer successfully, and what are the dilemma’s?

Title: 2012-01 | Strengthening the social structure via neighborhood and other

forms of frontline management

Project leader: Dr. Hans van der Kolk (University Twente)

Content: Budget cuts push administrators to introduce new, integrated forms of management to care for families with multiple and complex needs, and decentralization measures make such reforms possible. This research

investigates new, integrated forms of management introduced by Dutch cities between 2011 and 2014 within the policy triangle of local government, social service institutions and communities. It will also examine factors that influence

processes of implementing management reforms. Outcomes of the new management forms are not included.

Title: 2012-06 | Human rights and the city

Project leader: Prof. dr. B.M. Oomen (Utrecht University/Roosevelt Academy) Content: Increasingly, cities in- and outside of the Netherlands do directly use

international human right standards in processes of policy formulation, by referring themselves as human rights or explicitly adopting policies on the basis of one treaty, like the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The project

http://www.regionalekracht.nl/

signals the rise of such ‘right talk’ as a framework for understanding and

addressing social challenges, and to investigate its relevance to cities in the Netherlands. The question guiding the research will be: what do selected cities in the Netherlands consider to be the potential added value of reference

to international human rights in addressing social challenges, and what lessons can be drawn from their experiences?

Partners: City of Utrecht, Amnesty International, Netherlands National Human Rights Institute, Cities of Amsterdam and Middelburg

Project manager Economy & Innovation at Platform31 is Cees-Jan Pen (ceesjan.pen@plat form31.nl )

Title: 2008-04 | Area development: development/redevelopment of industrial estates

Project leader: Dr. Erwin van der Krabben (Radboud University Nijmegen) Content: The aim is to improve local and regional economic structures, by implementing

new and advanced strategies for the (re)development of business parks and industrial estates. Those strategies should include ways to increase the involvement of the private sector in implementing them. The research focuses

on three research questions: 1. How can the quality of obsolete business parks and industrial estates be improved, by implementing new, innovative strategies and tools for

restructuring and transformation? 2. Which development strategies and / or development models are suitable for the effective and sustainable development of new business parks and

industrial estates, in order to increase their contribution to local and regional economic growth? 3. How can new spatial concepts, like ‘campus development’ and ‘science

parks’, contribute effectively to local and regional economic growth and how can those concepts stimulate innovations in economic sectors?

Partners: Municipality of Haarlemmermeer, Nijmegen, and Rotterdam; Development Agency NV Oost; Stec Group; Province of North Brabant

Title: 2008-05 | Knowledge valorisation and local/regional benefits: pote ntials for an improved steering

Project leader: Prof. dr. Marina van Geenhuizen (Delft University of Technology ) Content: The study examines both temporal and spatial aspects of knowledge

valorisation relevant for the local/regional economy. It takes universities as the origin of new knowledge, with the valorisation project as the unit of analysis. The study aims to picture and understand (1) the speed of valorisation, and

(2) the spatial “deposition” of valorisation in terms of additional employment and new business in the region and outside, including obstacles (shortcomings in the city/region) and enhancing factors.

Title: 2008-19 | Globalisation and its impact on labour markets and urban

dynamics: urban development and the lower end of the labour market in a changing world

Project leader: Prof. dr. Henri de Groot (VU University) Content: It is important to know more about the various ways in which globalisation can

affect the use of space in the Netherlands in regard to such aspects as business activities and the educational level of employees. The heterogeneity of the impact of globalisation refers not only, thus, to the fact that the effect of

globalisation operates less and less through business and vocational classifications but also to the fact that the influence of globalisation on urban growth and employment differs when considering spatial and geographic

aspects. Partners: Municipality of Amsterdam, Haarlemmermeer; Statistics Netherlands (CBS);

Period: December 2008 – July 2013

Title: 2008-21 | The valuation of cultural heritage Project leader: Prof. dr. Piet Rietveld (VU University)

Content: This project investigates the role of various types of cultural heritage in urban

life. Cultural heritage is often a determining factor of the specific atmosphere

of a neighborhood and is valued as such by its residents. Residential and firm location choices are affected by the presence of this amenity. This is reflected in real estate prices and contributes to dynamic developments like

gentrification. Cultural heritage can also be an important attractor of national and international tourism. Learning about these processes and the possibilities to control them is clearly relevant for the evaluation and

development of policies directed at improvement of urban life. Partners: Cities of Dordrecht, Haarlem, Zaanstad, Heerlen, Helmond; Nieuwland

Period: December 2008 – October 2013 Title: 2008-20 | Redevelopment of cultural heritage in urban restructuring

projects; Opportunities and possibilities to level costs and benefits Project leader: Prof. dr. Geert Dewulf (University Twente)

Content: Cultural heritage adds value to the quality of spatial developments. Some

parties take advantage of this added value without contributing in the costs of

redevelopment or conservation of the cultural heritage. Is this a problem? How could costs and benefits of cultural heritage be balanced in a more legitimate way? This research increases the insight in the opportunities, chances and


8

threats of strategies for developing successful project coalitions, and

opportunities to level costs and benefits in the redevelopment of cultural heritage in urban area development projects. The research will generate design propositions for successful process management?

Partners: Cities of Hengelo, Enschede, Zaanstad, Tilburg; The Belvedere strategy: NS

Researchers: drs. Marlijn Baarveld (University Twente)

Period: December 2008 – May 2013 Title: 2008-23 | Knowledge valorisation in the region: the role of higher

professional education, relationships with the business community, and entrepreneurship

Project leader: Prof. dr. Piet Pellenbarg (University of Groningen) Content: This study contributes to this field by measuring directly the interactions

between colleges of higher education and firms. The study gives a comprehensive overview of the types of interactions between colleges and firms, their goals, motivation and evaluation. Also, it measures how many firms

actually engage in interactions with HEIs. In addition, we look at entrepreneurial activities by students because the start-up of new companies is a direct route for knowledge to be implemented in the local economy.

Title: 2008-22 | Higher educated in large cities in the Netherlands: brain drain

or brain gain?

Project leader: Prof. dr. Jouke van Dijk (University of Groningen)

Content: The aim of this study is to shed light on the mobility and location patterns of Dutch higher educates by means of an empirical analysis of micro data for Dutch professional college and university graduates. This data set permits to

relate job- and housing location at time and a variety of preceding migration patterns to background factors such as past location, discipline, study sector and performance and characteristics of the current job.

Period: December 2008 – December 2010 Title: 2008-28 | The relationship between the economy of cities and urban

networks Project leader: Drs. Gerard Marlet (University of Groningen, Atlas for local Dutch authorities)

Content: This study will reveal which cities are profiting from more far-reaching

cooperation and integration, and what factors determine this success. Since


9

this research focuses on empirical and theoretical research into the stability of

urban systems, spatial interdependencies between Dutch cities are a critical element. This is an important issue considering that it directly and indirectly affects the value and necessity of site-specific or urban policy. What happens

to the stability of urban systems if they are subject to ongoing changes (whether or not these are caused by policy) such as changes in the infrastructure, globalisation, European integration, etc.? Which regions/cities

are ahead of or behind the others, and why? How great do such shocks have to be to set urban systems in motion? Is it possible to influence city centre/fringe structures, and, if so, can policymakers indicate whether this will

be a gradual process or a sudden shift such as what modern location theories predict?

Title: 2008-31 | Industrious urban districts in industrious cities: a study into

the meaning of economic activities in residential districts

Project leader: Prof. dr. Robert Kloosterman (Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan and

International Development Studies, University of Amsterdam)

Content: This research programme aims at gaining insight into the extent, the

significance, and the underlying dynamics of economic activities in urban

residential neighbourhoods. We want to find out how important businesses in residential neighbourhoods are and why they are located in there. The main theoretical point of departure is agglomeration economies which help to

explain why economic activities are located in urban environments. In addition, we will use network theories to analyse the linkages between firms/entrepreneurs in urban neighbourhoods. This research programme will

thus deepen our insights in the transition from an industrial to a postindustrial or digital city and how new spatial-temporal patterns of work, care and leisure are emerging.

Title: 2008-25 | Development of hubs at railway stations

Project leader: Prof. dr. Luca Bertolini (Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan and International Development Studies, University of Amsterdam)

Content: Criticism on the disjointed development of infrastructural projects and spatial planning is common within the Netherlands. Given the current crisis, there has never been more urgency to produce functional and successful transit corridor


10

developments that can lead to spin off economic benefits whilst encouraging a

more sustainable way of living, working and travelling. In order to contribute to understanding and realizing this potential, this research is formulated in two projects. Project 1 aims to analyze the economic impact of the development of

a transit oriented corridor in metropolitan areas. Project 2 explores which institutional incentives can lead to more integration between spatial and public transport developments in the same context.

Period: December 2008 – October 2013 Title: 2008-26 | Design and Evaluation of Regional Spatial and Infrastructure

Visions Project leader: Prof. dr. Luca Bertolini (Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan and International

Development Studies, University of Amsterdam) Content: Social Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) is an evaluation method with a strong

role in the Netherlands. It has been selected in 2000 by the Dutch national government as the main evaluation method to structure and rationalize decision-making on infrastructure (land-use) projects. The experience so far

shows, however, that using the SCBA for evaluating (land-use) infrastructure plan entails several content and process related risks. The process and content risks of using the SCBA are diverse. Many civil servants experience

the SCBA for example as a technical black box that crushes beautiful visions on urban economic development. On the other hand, more technocratic users of the SCBA respond that many (land-use) transport plans (visions) are not

that well founded. As far as content issues are concerned, there is dispute on spatial distribution of effects or measuring synergy between different projects, as well as formulating project goals, immeasurable bene fits and using

discount rates for long term environment effects among others. Contradictory points of view belay a negative atmosphere and spill over into frustrations instead of creating better plans. The research project aims at better

understanding these issues and exploring potential solutions. Partners: Cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam; City Region Rotterdam; Province of

Title: 2008-24 | Policies for the creative industries

The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area in a European perspective.


11

Project leader: Prof. dr. Robert Kloosterman (Amsterdam Institute of Metropolitan and International Development Studies, University van Amsterdam)

Content: The research aim is enlarge the insight in the development of policies for creative industries in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Why and how are these policies developed? What are the underlying rationales? What are the

objectives of these policies?

The main point of departure (focus) for this research is the need to engage

public, private and not-for-profit actors in the development and implementation of policies for creative industries. The research describes the development of creative industries in metropolitan regions (the emergence of a international

network, composed of specialized clusters) and the efforts, and underlying rationales, of policymakers in metropolitan regions to support the growth of the creative industries. Case-studies, of the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and 3

other metropolitan regions in Europe will deepen the insight in the organisation, development and implementation of creative industries policies in metropolitan regions in Europe.

Period: February 2009 – Decemeber 2013

Title: 2012-02 | Networks, Agglomeration and Polycentric Metropolitan Areas: New Perspectives for improved Economic Performance (NAPOLEON)

Project leader: Prof. dr. Frank van Oort (University of Utrecht) Content: Agglomeration economies in cities cause larger cities to economically

outperform smaller cities in terms of productivity or unemployment. Dutch cities are relatively small on a worldwide or European scale, but are clustered in polycentric metropolitan areas. This project aims to improve the economic

performance of Dutch metropolitan areas by empirically exploring the interdependencies between agglomeration economies, economic networks and urban systems. It is about the importance of the position of urban regions

in networks of trade, knowledge and FDIinvestments on a European scale. Explicit attention is paid to the economic added value of intra-metropolitan networks in a polycentric metropolitan area, and consider how and to what

extent a metropolitan level of urbanization economies can be organized in a cluster of medium-sized and small cities to enhance economic performance. Participating cities gain insight in the importance of different types of networks

and local factors in regional economic development and their current network position; the extent to which they do and could ‘borrow’ size from nearby cities, and which factors are critical to do so.

Title: 2012-03 | Trickle down in attractive cities Project leader: Prof. dr. Harry Garretsen (University of Groningen)

Content: Dutch cities are doing well. Quality of life has improved. And after decennia of

suburbanization many higher-educated people and people with higher

incomes prefer to live in cities again (Marlet 2009), leading to a further concentration of economic growth in these cities (CPB 2011). At the same time however, Dutch cities are characterized by specific urban problems. The

spatial concentration of unemployed people with low or no education is one of the most persistent ones (Marlet and Van Woerkens, 2008). The combination of both phenomena leads to an increasing (income) inequality

within cities. This inequality forms a major driver of social unrest and urban deprivation (Cheshire,1989). As a result, socio-economic inequality is one of the key urban policy challenges of today and a key topic in urban research as

well (Overman 2011). The research focuses on the relation between the increasing attraction of Dutch cities on the skilled and wealthy and the persisting socio-economic inequality in these cities. The question if and – if so

– how trickle-down effects occur in Dutch cities, and how policy can change or improve these effects, is the focus of this project.

Title: 2009-36 | Effectiveness of community schools and their applicability to

secondary education, pre-vocational secondary education, and senior

secondary vocational education Project manager: Frank Wassenberg ( frank.wassenberg@plat form31.nl)

Project leader: prof. dr. Henriëtte Maassen van den Brink/prof. dr. Wim Groot (University

Maastricht)

Content: In recent years community schools have been established in primary and

secondary education. Community schools are characterized by a multi -

disciplinary co-operation between schools, social work, child care, cultural institutions and sport clubs in order to provide education and other activities from morning until evening. Community schools are thought to be helpful in

increasing educational achievement and cognitive and social development of children. Community schools have mostly been developed in deprived areas and are mostly intneded for disadvantaged children who lack access to sport

clubs, cultural activities and who are frequently confronted with problems at home and in their social and cognitive development. The aim of this project is to gain insight and knowledge about the

effectiveness of communinity schools in primary and secondary education, and to explore whether community schools can be implemented in internemdiate vocational education as well.

Title: 2008-27 | Approaches to the phenomenon of school dropout Project manager: Frank Wassenberg [email protected])

Project leader: prof. dr. Henriëtte Maassen van den Brink/prof. dr. Wim Groot (University

Maastricht)

Content: Many interventions have been developed to keep pupils enrolled in school.

But little is known about whether or not these interventions work or are cost

effective. This leads to the following research questions: 1. What are the factors that determine the phenomenon of school dropout? 2. What interventions are effective at keeping pupils enrolled in school?

Title: 2009-35 | How to improve the economic position of the low educated in large cities?

Project manager: Cees-Jan Pen (cees-jan.pen@plat form31.nl) Project leader: prof. dr. Jouke van Dijk (RU Groningen)

Content: This research proposal deals with the question of how to improve the

economic position of the low educated in large cities. The question is an

important issue on the policy agenda of both large cities and the national agenda to combat youth unemployment, stimulating the knowledge economy and upgrading of the labour force. Furthermore, it is related to several

research theme’s in international scientific literature on the development of the employment structure, human capital externalities and positive and negative spill-overs of education and the effectiveness of policy instruments on training

and education.

This research focuses on two parallel tracks. First, we focus on human capital

externalities and positive and negative spill-overs for low educated. Second, we focus is on efforts and investments of local governments in education and training programs for low educated unemployed.

Title: 2008-03 | Labour market stategies of municipalities

Project manager: Cees-Jan Pen (cees-jan.pen@plat form31.nl)

Projectleader: prof. dr. Jouke van Dijk

Content: In ‘Labour market strategies of municipalities’ two research themes are investigated in the context of the int roduction of the Work and assistance Act in 2004 in The Netherlands. In the first place, the theoretical and empirical

possibilities that municipalities have to prevent inflow into Social Assistance and to stimulate the outflow. In the second place, the way the municipalities respond to increasing financial responsibilities and policy discretion as a result

of processes of decentralization for which the Work and Social Assistance Act is an example. Theoretically, there are four possible outcomes on the basis of two dimensions: there is increasing efficiency or not and the differences

between municipalities become smaller (convergence) or larger (divergence)? Partners: Municipalities/cities of Utrecht, The Hague, Oss, Roermond, Groningen,

15

Project leader: prof. dr. Jouke van Dijk (RU Groningen) Content: Improving the economic position of lower educated people is an important

policy theme. Overall lower educated people have a weaker position in our society. The aim of this research is to gather more insights in the position of lower educated people, the changes they are undertaking on the labour

market (transitions) and its interplay with influencing factors. The research is divided in different parts focusing on specific transitions. These transitions can be positive (from education to education, from education to a job, or from a job

Title: 2008-01 | Social mobility: individuals, groups and neighbourhoods Project leader: Prof. dr. Jan Rath (Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies, University of

Amsterdam) Content: The central questions of this program concern the social mobility of

individuals, groups and neighborhoods and revolve around the question of how these processes take place, how they are related, and what accounts for them. More specifically, these questions will be addressed: i) how do social

mobility of young residents come about and which neighborhood -related factors influence this process, ii) how do urban neighborhoods manage to revitalize and who are the precursors of those processes, and iii) how are both

processes interrelated and which role does the fledgling middle class play? (see: http://www.imes.uva.nl/socialemobiliteit/)

Title: Neighbourhoods, tensions and conflicts

Content: What social processes and mechanisms define crisis, conflict and reoccurring

tensions in contemporary urban neighborhoods, in terms of how they come

about initially and how they develop through the actions and reactions that develop in these different forms of conflict? This projects consists of two parts.

Part 1: 2008-17 | Negotiating conflicts in urban neighbourhoods Project leader: Dr. David Laws (University of Amsterdam)

Content: Tensions between neighbours, but also between neighbourhood residents and

local governments create new situations in the neighbourhood. This project

aims at understanding these kind of situations, in which the daily order is disturbed, and to contribute to systematical, practical solutions.

Period: October 2008 – July 2012 Title: 2009-30 | Learning Participation. Examining the WMO (Social Support

Act) Project leader: Prof. dr. Jan Willem Duijvendak (University of Amsterdam)

Content: The goal of this research is to generate supplementary knowledge on the field

of care and welfare in the Netherlands, especially concerning the recently

introduced WMO. The study focuses on the meanings and organization of Dutch care and welfare – from the viewpoints of citizens, professionals and politics. The central question is: How does the WMO stimulate the

participation of different groups of citizens? Stimulating participation within the WMO has two distinct but related sides. The first concerns how citizen participation is stimulated. The second concerns management: the new forms

(e.g. chain management, state-management and coordination) the WMO requires and their effectiveness.

Title: 2008-18 | Youngsters, social mobility and urban restructuring Project leader: Prof. dr. Ronald van Kempen (University of Utrecht)

Content: The general content of this study is to discover the effects of restructuring

measures in urban problem areas on various ways in which young people can

achieve upward social mobility. What are effects of restructuring on young people. What is the role of schools, municipalities and housing associations in upward social mobility. How can physical restructuring help youngsters

forward, and what do they think themselves about it? Partners: City of Utrecht; Vader Rijn College; Housing association Mitros; Krajicek

Title: 2009-32A | Changing households and functions of neighbourhoods Project leader: Prof. dr. Sako Musterd (University of Amsterdam)

Content: Households occupy different positions during their careers; these careers

include household careers, labour market careers, and also housing and

neighbourhood careers. Varying positions of households during their lives require various dwellings and residential neighbourhoods. This project will therefore divert the attention from a neighbourhood targeted approach to a

“changing households and ‘functions-of-neighbourhood’” approach. What function does the neighbourhood or urban district serve? Do areas change when households change? Are there neighbourhoods that

prevent individuals to develop themselves? Should urban policy aim at mixed neighbourhoods for everyone? Does urban policy reflect the household developments?

Titel: 2010-41 | Quality of the private housing stock Project leader: dr. Frits Meijer (OTB, Delft University of Technology)

Content: The quality of the private housinging stock is inceasingly problematic, because

of the growing share of owner occupation, the overall ageing of the housing

stock and the sale of property to lower income groups, often former renting



23

dwellings. What are present anf future problems? What could be the role of

municipalities and housing associations to help maintain and improve the quality of private houses? How can cooperative associations, which is a legal obligation, work better in practice? How can energy be saved? How can the

improvement of private housing help to improve the neighbourhood? Can financial and fiscal regimes be altered? What are good practices?

Period: October 2009 – June 2013 Title: 2009-38 | Side effects of restructuring: forced movers, receiving

neighbourhoods and affordable housing Project leader: Prof. dr. Ronald van Kempen (University of Utrecht)

Content: Urban restructuring has side effects, such as (maybe problematic) inhabitants

who move to nearby areas, or problems like safety, crime or non-social

behaviour that is replaced to another spot. What determines where people move to, and why there? Why do so few people return eventually, while they earlier declared the will to do so? How do appreciate the existing inhabitants

in the receiving areas the new inhabitants? What are actual removals forced by urban restructuring processes? How can replacement of problems be prevented?

A second part of the research is aimed at the affordable housing stock. Any demolition will be replaced by more expense dwellings, even those in the social rented stock. What is left? And how are these affordable houses spread

over the city, and region? Does urban restructuring, including demolition and replacement, mean that ‘normal’ house hunters don’t get their dwellings?

organisations work with ‘lifestyles’ and ‘branding’? Which methods are being

used in three ways of urban development: housing allocation, maintenance and project development? What are effects in practices, among inhabitants (are they more satisfied), among owners (less removals, less complaints, less

vandalism) and among the municipality (nicer area, better image)? Partners: Cities of The Hague, Leeuwarden, Rotterdam and Maastricht; Housing

Content: Social mobility is a key concept in neighbourhood-based policies in Europe

and the US. But what happens when interventions will stop? In times of

financial cutbacks, a retreating government and ‘the Big Society debate’, there is a strong need of knowledge on effective social interventions. What could people do themselves, and where support is needed? In this project a

longitudinal research is used, looking for effects of over ten years of social mobility in a Rotterdam regeneration area. Results are compared with a similar project in Glasgow.
