1 100 Resilient City Singapore

2 Singapore Resilience Challenges Flooding (Coastal and Rainfall) Heat Wave Pollution or Environmental Degredation Rising Sea Level and Coastal Erosion

3 Image from Wikimedia Commons City Resiliency is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience (Rockefeller Foundation) 3

4 Market Insight We see increasing movement in cities to work together and invest to become more resilient to physical (buildings and infrastructure), social, and economic challenges Global capital investment on resiliency/climate change adaptation ~ $100B/year (sources: WB, UN) BUC cities + 50 sustainability index cities ~ $50B/year total capital investment in resiliency = ~ $5B/year for consultants (@10 % fee) 4

5 Impact on ARCADIS The opportunity exists to bring a comprehensive ARCADIS proposition to the market that does not exist yet combining these elements: Urban & Building Planning & Design Critical Infrastructure & seismic design Water Management Climate Change Adaptation Risk Management Financial Institutions Business Continuity 5

6 Impact on ARCADIS We can use adaptation and resiliency as an accelerator for urban growth and development transformation for our clients City Resiliency is a global issue we can leverage our global reputation for water management/climate change adaptation/scarcity/seismic analysis while we build on our sustainability profile and network with our BUC cities to grow City Resiliency to a more comprehensive offering 6

7 Image from Wikimedia Commons Our Integrated Value Proposition Help our clients make risk-sensitive investments to create resilient cities and ensure business continuity Target Clients: City Managers, Mayors, Industries, Utilities, Re-insurers 7

8 Evolution of Our Value Proposition From (Traditional ARCADIS) Vulnerability assessments Flood management, water scarcity Green buildings Urban planning Emergency response Individual projects To (IVP ARCADIS) Resiliency strategies Socio-technical urban water management Climate and earthquake resilient structures Water sensitive cities Business continuity Connecting projects between cities 8

17 Inner Harbor Navigational Canal (IHNC), New Orleans, Louisiana Challenge Rebuilt levee constructions capable of handling hurricanes Tight time and cost schedule Complex scope of work High standards and regulations for construction; cost; contract; and property management Outcome New levee and flood protection system for New Orleans Flood protection system capable of handling hurricanes [Isaac, 2012] Resilient future for the city of New Orleans Approach Direct communication with interested contractors Developed a source selection plan and criteria Held sessions to identify potential solutions to problem with all stakeholders Risk analysis on potential project alternatives and procurement methods Contract management, project controls, change order management, management of USACE legacy system and cost control management

18 Mission Creek Vulnerability and Adaptation Study, San Francisco Challenge One of the lowest lying regions of San Francisco Redevelopment for residential and commercial use First comprehensive assessment of the vulnerability on the impact of storm surges and sea level rise Approach Outcome A suite of options to be considered for future studies Graphic alternatives that show different and multiple lines of defense strategies Mix of hard and soft measures Alternatives that put different emphasis on community, economy and the natural system Assessing critical infrastructure Working with sea level rise inundation maps. Worked together with different city departments to describe asset characteristics Risk and vulnerability profiles are developed to inform the adaptation planning component Communication with stakeholders and different city departments

19 Coastal Multifunctional Flood Protection, Katwijk, The Netherlands Challenge Coastal protection (dunes) not capable of handling extreme weather Coastal development in combination with coastal reinforcement Low boulevard and limited space Stakeholder participation Innovative coastal protection solutions Outcome Positive outcome for flood resiliency and new opportunities for the city of Katwijk on tourism Flood protection solutions within limited space, and with limited impact on adjacent coastal sections Approach Multifunctional dike and dune construction (hybrid flood protection) Dike construction was hidden under sandy dunes Provided dune and dike design with several climate scenarios Provided a parking garage, and improved boulevard and tourism opportunities, combined with flood protection solutions

20 Malamocco Flood Protection and Navigation Lock, Venice, Italy Challenge Continued damage to the historic city and architecture of Venice Ever changing water levels in the Venetian Lagoon Accessibility of cruise and cargo ships Outcome Conceptual design based on state of the art modeling Conceptual design of locks according to all required standards, and stakeholder needs Approach Based on navigational studies, an optimal conceptual lock design was devised Design catered for different conditions and types of vessels Sensitivity of approach for the combination of high design standards and historical 17 th century breakwater
