This area will undergo a transformation within the next 20 to 40 years. The total area of Stadshavens [CityPorts] encompasses 1,600 hectares and consists of four areas: 1. Rijnhaven-Maashaven; 2. Merwehaven-Vierhavens; 3. Eemhaven-Waalhaven; 4. RDM-terrein and Heijplaat. The Rijnhaven-Maashaven area is selected to experiment with floating buildings. This means that these type of buildings will be implemented in a buitendijks gebied [outside the dike area] and is therefore not protected by dikes. Floating buildings, which move along with water flows, can be a new delta solution. A successful exploitation can hopefully result in a new ‘export product’ for other areas and cities. Potentially, floating buildings can be introduced at many other locations due to the fact that many big cities in the world are located near water. A theoretical framework has been developed in order to define legal and administrative aspects. This framework is applied to empirical results to evaluate current experiences with floating buildings. Subsequently, this framework is elaborated for the Maashaven and Rijnhaven with corresponding realisation strategies.
