11 Building practice Spatial planning - strict environmental legislation - longlasting procedures - vulnerable to opposition Design - reactive and defensive - focus on mitigating negative effects Realisation - mitigating measures poorly substantiated

12

13 Ecodynamic development starts from the dynamics of the natural system planning, designing and building with nature utilises nature as a dynamic engine enhances ecological opportunities while meeting economic and infrastructural objectives

21 Ecodynamic development requires sound knowledge of the natural system good insight into decision making processes interdisciplinary / interprofessional collaboration (hydraulic engineers, ecologists, social scientists)

22

23 Breakthroughs required Natural system knowledge: static approach dynamic behaviour descriptive predictive species ecosystem dynamics false certainty living with uncertainties

24 Breakthroughs required technological: engineering-centered integral thinking technocratic approach balanced sustainable development mitigating adverse environmental effects adaptation to the natural system construction life cycle management reactive pro-active

25 Breakthroughs required governance: full control process management threats opportunities letter of the law spirit of the law closed government-dominated decision making open multi-actor processes
