Leakage, losses and waste:
1. Install a water meter and check regularly to make sure they aren’t leaking (a leak of one drop each second wastes approximately 10,000 litres of water each year).
2. maintenace of water transportation system/prevention of water leakage -13%

Dwarka 6.1 is part of the 6th step of project DELHI 2050. In 6.1, at the suggestion of the Delhi Devel-opment Authority and the National Capital Region, the team explores the water issues in Dwarka. Ad-dressing the water situation in Dwarka is a crucial step before the Delhi 2050 project can resume its broader scope of the Dwarka test-case, in step 7.
Dwarka is a sub-city of Delhi, planned in the early ‘90s in order to house the growing population of the city. It is strategically located close to the airport in South West Delhi and is planned for a popula-tion of more than a million (primari-ly middle-class) inhabitants.
In spite of the rapid growth in the rest of the Delhi metropolitan area, development does not come off the ground in Dwarka. This is caused by the combination of specula-tion with middle class housing, and the severe water shortages. Sizeable areas still stand vacant, and apartment buildings are only partly occupied. Water is key to a future development of Dwarka. As an essential building-block of any future vision or scenario for Dwar-ka, the water issue needs to be addressed first.

OVERAL WERKEN
ANDER GEBRUIK
Buiten de stad worden vervoer-middelen passend bij de aantallen gebruikers. Er kan bijna gesteld worden dat er meer aandacht naar de regio uit moet gaan. De grote steden redden zich wel, maar in de regio wordt massatransport omgezet in (bo�om-up gestuurde) maatproducten.
SPORT
PEDESTRIAN WAYAndere keuzes of fysieke ingre-pen kunnen makkelijk geïmple-menteerd worden. Als in een buurt de CO2 niveaus te hoog worden, wordt het verkeer via andere routes gestuurd. As de school uitgaat of winkels open zijn wordt de straat tijdelijk voetgangersgebied.
Bij de keuze van een woonomge-ving speelt de verkeersomgeving minder een rol aangezien alles (met name door elektrisch gedreven autonome voertuigen) steeds stiller en veiliger wordt. De lee�waliteit van steden en doorgaande wegen neemt daarmee toe. Er is meer ruimte voor groen en voorzienin-gen.
Autonome voertuigen maken het mogelijk om de tijd in de auto te gebruiken voor andere activiteiten, zoals werk, maar eventueel ook �tness. Voorzieningen kunnen dan ook mobiel worden. De rechtbank of het gezondheidscentrum komt dan door de buurt in plaats van een nieuwe vestiging te hebben.
Er is (net als nu in Helsinki gebeurd) een rol voor de overheid in het aansturen op een koppeling van de verschillende mobilitei-tssystemen. Daarin zullen ook keuzes moeten worden gemaakt op basis van lee�waliteit in steden (CO2 niveaus, geluidsover-last, doorgaande routes), maar ook op de wensen van het achterland (welke modaliteiten houden we nog in stand?).

RIDE
Op ieder moment stoppen bete-kent een ander gebruik van de bestaande infrastructuur. Feitelijk ontstaat er een terugkeer van de ventweg: verschillende snelheden op één route.
PARKEREN IS GEEN ISSUE MEER
CAPACITEITVERHOGEN
Doordat de capaciteit en e�ciëntie wordt verhoogt neemt het totale aantal verkeer af. Mobiliteit neemt minder ruimte in beslag waardoor er meer ruimte is voor groen, voorzieningen en verdichting.
DISTRIBUTIE COMPLEXER
Er is nog veel te optimaliseren aan de bezorging van goederen in de steden. Grootschalige distributiecentra en distriparks maken plaats voor peer-to-peer distributiesystemen.
Er komen veel meer knooppunten tussen de verschillende modalitei-ten. Overstappen moet naadloos kunnen, het wachten wordt tot een minimum teruggebracht.

GEBUNDELD WORDT GEDISTRIBUEERDIn het proces van Gebundeld wordt Gedistribueerd is het vooral belangrijk om te be-grijpen dat via sensoren en het internet of things alles constant met elkaar in verbinding staat en gemonitord kan worden. Er is toegang tot het Internet of Things en big data om analyses en voorspellende algoritmen te ontwikkelen die de e�ciëntie kan versnellen, de productiviteit verhogen en de marginale kosten van de productie en distributie van fysieke dingen, waaronder energie, producten en diensten, tot bijna nul verlagen, net zoals we nu doen met informatie producten.
Dit proces hee« vooral een e¬ect in het domein van mobiliteit waar het mogelijk wordt om de capaciteit veel beter te benu�en, zowel van de voertuigen zelf als van de la-dingen ervan. Kleinere netwerken en sensoren worden gekoppeld aan grotere en creëren één decentraal systeem. Autonome voertuigen maken het systeem vervolgens stiller en veiliger.

SMART MOBILITYDigital technology has a huge im-pact on mobility, both in the modes of transportation as well as in the (use of) physical infrastructure. Technology makes transportation more efficient, freeing up space for other uses. It aims to understand-how to design and transform cities such that future developments in mobility can be phased in. While designing for mobility, working with prototypes and beta versions gives the possibility to adjust a process in real-time.

The issue of achieving neighborhood sustainability is linked to the neighborhood regeneration. The transformation aims to enable the neighborhoods or districts to be more livable, sustainable and adaptable in the future. Four typical postwar neighborhoods in Eindhoven are selected as one district named Dommelbeemd as a case study. This research will study the district’s limitations as well as the potentials on the physical, environment, social, design and economic aspects. To achieve that, the main focus will be on possible interventions from a sustainable point of view. Based on the thorough literature study and site analysis, a pack of strate-gies and designs are developed for the district’s sustainable future. The general goal for Dommelbeemd is achieving sustainability. This goal is achieved through several methods: 1. Local mobility is largely based on public transportation and cycling. 2. Dommelbeemd becomes carbon neutral. 3. District input and output are mini-mized. 4. Local economy is largely self-sufficient. 5. The residents enjoy a healthy and happy community life. For each method, a pack of approaches are proposed which can always answer the questions: “What” “Why” “How” “When” and “Who”.

IntroductionThe city of Oss locates in the northern part of North Brabant province and, as a provincial city, it situated between two relatively larger cities Den Bosch and Nijmegen. In the near future, the large company Organon and the city hospital will leave. The city faces a role transformation. After being labeled as agriculture city, industry city and liva-ble city, what is the new image for Oss in the new era? What potentials and city problems does Oss have? What is the future of the city? Oss is facing a moment to rethink the role and being well prepared for future.The center of Oss represents its origin, core and identity. The city was formed and devel-oped largely on the base of the center. It means significance to the city both in the past and nowadays. After the city expands and the centrality moves, it is time to ask: what does the centrality mean to Oss in nowadays? Does the historical core still represent the center of Oss?
Catholic city
Functional city
Livable city
However, the current situation is not satisfy-ing. Large scale buildings are scattering on the green carpet and the back yard is occu-pied by parking lots. The space in front of the buildings is open and unattractive. Overall, the culture center is not well functioned as the planner first expected.
AnalysisPublic space analysis
Catholic CityDuring the pre-war period, Oss can be called ‘catholic city’ because the public space is mainly related to the catholic religion such as church and relating insti-tutional buildings. At the same time, the Molenstraat was quite important because of public facilities and offices. A tension was formed between north and south via this street.
Functional CityAfter the amenity buildings moved to the Molenstraat, the tension on the street was strengthened.The railway was built up which brought a large number of people to Oss. They city expanded and centerality moves towards south. At that time, people were congregat ed in factory, historical center as well as religious buildings.
Livable CityNew type of public space and domain ap-peared during the modern age since 1975. In that time period, the car is dominative. The centeral area was redesigned to be a pedestrian area which surrouded by park-ing lots. In that case, people are encouraged to access the center by car. Until now, the center is still like an island floating in the sea of parking lots. On the other hand, the amenties was relo-cated to better service the people in south. And it becomse a sub-center with culture functions.
Morphological analysis
This part of analysis is focused on the morpho-logical change due to the historical development and planning of the city. The physical central of Oss changed as a result of morphological changes of the city. At first, Oss was formed around a central triangular shaped square called the ‘Heuvel’ and further developed along the rib-bon structure. Later a grid pattern was added on and ribbons are cut off by new grid structure .As the city ex-panded, gradually the center moved towards south along Molenstraat and eventually stopped by the railway track. After the war, the city expanded more quickly, a larger ring was constructed and the railway runs from east to west, right through the city and divides Oss into two parts. In 1974, a group of amenity buildings were relocated along Raadhu-islaan, paralleled to railway, in order to be better accessed by all residents especially people liv-ing in South. However this particular infrastruc-ture pattern and city structure later lead to failure of this public space.

DesignThe concentration of public facilities and wide spread green poses a unique and ambitious gesture for future role. The project attempts to create a new type of park space. Different from a traditional park concept, it is a multi-function and intensive green space with public building and hous-ing tower scattering inside. The landscape is the tool to mediate the scale and arrange the programs. After collecting, combining and reallocating the existing open space, new space and programs are designed ac-cording to environment and urban needs.
Project LocationThe area along the Raadhuislaan and rail-way is a cluster of amenities established since 1970s, containing public buildings such as city hall, office of public health service, library, theater, police office, cine-ma, high school, church, swimming center, etc. This area is one of the important pub-lic space in last decades with high urban potential. In the new plan, it is proposed to be one of the most strategic area for future development as a mediation between the historical center and the expanded center.

Accessiblity
The second task is to increase the accessibility of the park. The park is open to public on north side while on the south side, road is hidden behind a housing block and the park entrance is miss-ing. For that, one housing block is tore down and the space is transformed into a green anchor in south. Functionally, it belongs to the park but also it serves as a community park for housing near-by. To make up for the housing lost, four housing tower along the railway are built in park environ-ment. Meanwhile, two bicycle routes run through the park which provide an alternative for cyclists to experience the green and meet people rather than being parallel with cars.
Gree tunnel & Slope
The first task is to connect the space on the two sides of railway. A tunnel with height of 5 meters is designed over the track. In general, the tunnel is both a passing route for pedestrian and cyclist and a place for stopping, recreation and relaxa-tion. Seen from outside, the tunnel is not recog-nized as a cover but an integrated part of the park. The slope grows slightly and leads people pass over the train tunnel. To make it feasible and integrate the tunnel into the landscape, two actions are taken. First, after the train goes into the tunnel from west side, the track inside sinks for 1 meters and it raise again when it comes out. In that case the height of middle tunnel is 4 meters. Second action is creating a comfort slope for cycling from the ground to 4 meters high. The route for bicycle is designated. On these routes, the slope begins more than 100 meters away from the top. Thus, it ensure the angle of cycling route is no more than 4%. Then the slopes have a natural look and merge into the landscape well. The tunnel improves space quality by removing the parking and railway boundary. Moreover, the tunnel is designed not only for train passing, but also a substation of the old parking lots at the back side. Under the slope at the height of 2-3 meters the space is preserved for parking which cars can access from the main road without going cross the park area.

Unban context
The third task is integrate the park into urban con-text and establish smooth transition. The green spine is connection with city on different scale. The main connection between historical center and south is established on city scale. On district level, industry, housing, spine park and hosptital area work in cohesion functionally and physically. In the site, the network and tthe tension inside is created as well.The east side starting from Jan Cunnen park, con-nects the new bus station and the street in front of the train station. It provide a legible route for people to access the park or to the center via Mo-lenstraat. To the west, along the railway are public
allotment garden. They are well maintained and gated. These gardens will be open to public and as a part of green spine park, people can walk inside and even buy products from the owner, such as vegetables, flower, honey, etc. It is aim to enrich the park function and complete the green spine structure.

City square
The space between the city hall and the office of public health serviece is designed to be a city square which is bounded by two diagonal line. It aims to use the space maximally and also provide open view for people on Raadhuislaan which lead people in naturally. On the square there are two triangle fountain of different size. The steam water comes directly from the ground. It will be big an attraction on large open field, also it can a water mirror reflecting surroundings when it does not work. The square will be one of the most important public domain in the city on which an annually city event or gathering can be held.

Green structure
Considering the economic and function reasons, the program ‘green spine’ is composed by various types of green which is owned and managed by differ-ent shareholders. Diverse activies are implemented into the green space as well.
Municipality ownedPart of green is owned by municipality which includes park, sports field, garden, etc. It aim to serve for public and city events. Most of the green space are flexible with function. For exam-ple, the green anchor in south play several roles as a park space.
