Contributor Rocco, R. (mentor) Aalbers, K.P.M. (mentor) Harteveld, M.G.A.D. (mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Urbanism Date 2009-07-02 Abstract In the last decades of the 20th century, there has been a shift from the industrial towards the knowledge and service economy. Cities also join this trend, by presenting themselves as ‘knowledge cities’. The Knowledge City is “a city that was purposefully designed to encourage the nurturing of knowledge”. The city of Delft presented itself from the beginning of the 1990s as a ‘knowledge city’. Delft Kennisstad pays a lot of attention to the business climate, but tends to forget about the people climate. The goal of the graduation project was to create a new sustainable strategy for the city of Delft, based on knowledge, but in a way that all citizens of Delft can benefit from it. The Schie Canal Banks in Delft were redesigned, based on the theories of the sustainable Knowledge City. The final products were a study on the planning requiremenst of the Knowledge City and a comparison with the sustainable city; an analysis of Delft and the Schie Canal Banks; and a final design for Delft and the Schie Canal Banks.
