Exploring resident-empowered meeting places in Dutch Neighbourhoods: by Jane Jacobs Walking Action-research methodology
No full textThe ‘Jane Jacobs Walk’ organization as one of the Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) heritage initiative supported three Jane Jacobs Walks of certified Fred Sanders in the period 2011 - 2014 in Amsterdam neighbour-hoods. These walks helped residents to explore resident-empowered meeting-places and activities in their own housing environment for the benefit of community living-quality for themselves and others all spirited by Jane Jacobs her thoughts. These walks can methodological be seen as a form action-research by which the participating residents analyze their own data of experiences and insights. From the threeJane Jacob Walks organized (added to the results of my dissertation as the ‘body of knowledge’) (Sanders, 2014) the conclusions are: 1. Residents favor nearby and lifestyle coupled meeting-places, 2. Beside the by the municipality organized meeting-places there are many so called ‘free’ meeting-places available, 3. Less of all these meeting-places suite youngsters, foreign people and unemployed people, and 4. Resi-dents are willing to organize meeting-place even to manage subsidizing still a financial support from the municipality is essential. The effect of the ‘talking by walking’ could be optimized by involving more youngsters. ‘Jane Jacobs Walks’ as example of action-research could methodological be optimized by test-ing the results in a pilot neighbourhood.Environmental Technology and Desig

Jacobs schrijversvrienden
No full textSinds 2001 wordt jaarlijks een schrijver uitgenodigd om gedurende een periode van twee maanden het gastschrijverschap aan de Technische Universiteit Delft te vervullen. De TU Delft organiseert het gastschrijverschap in samenwerking met Verstegen & Stigter culturele projecten. Het gastschrijverschap begint met een openbaar openingscollege. Vervolgens geeft de schrijver een masterclass die uitsluitend toegankelijk is voor studenten van de TU Delft. Ter afsluiting houdt de gastschrijver de openbare Vermeerlezing, waarbij de resultaten van de masterclass gepresenteerd worden. Studenten die de gehele masterdass hebben doorlopen, krijgen een certificaat uitgereikt door de rector magnificus en de gastschrijver. Op 8 januari 2010 droeg Jacob Fokkema de rectorsfakkel over aan zijn opvolger Karel Luyben. Daarmee kwam tevens een eind aan Jacobs betrokkenheid bij het Delftse gastschrijverschap. Verstegen & Stigter heeft al Jacobs Schrijversvrienden gevraagd een persoonlijk woord op papier te zetten. Dit boekje is het resultaat. Een hommage aan Jacob Fokkema, als geschreven blijk van dank voor zijn bezield gastheerschap op de TU Delft
"The end of national models? Integration courses and citizenship trajectories in Europe"
No full textSeveral European countries have recently introduced or are planning to introduce citizenship trajectories (voluntary or obligatory inclusion programs for recent immigrants) or citizen integration tests (tests one should pass to be able and acquire permanent residence or state citizenship). Authors like Joppke claim this is an articulation of a more general shift towards the logic of assimilation (and away from a multicultural agenda) in integration policy paradigms of European States. Integration policies would even be converging in such a fashion that it would no longer make sense to think in terms of national models for immigrant integration. One cannot deny the empirical fact of diffusion of civic integration policies throughout Europe. This paper claims there is, however, still sufficient distinctiveness between immigrant integration policies in order to continue and use an analytical framework which distinguishes national models

On the role of general purpose technologies within the Marshall-Jacobs controversy: The case of nanotechnologies
No full textThis paper investigates the role of nanotechnologies as a general purpose technology for regional development. Due to pervasiveness, nanotechnologies may be utilized in diverse applications thereby providing the basis for both localization and urbanization externalities. We carry out patent and publication analyses for the city state of Hamburg during the period 1990-2010. We find evidence that nanotechnologies are advanced in the context of regional knowledge bases and follow up prevailing specialization patterns. As nanotechnologies develop both industry specific and city specific externalities become effective leading to specialization deepening and specialization widening which both are functions of the increasing nano-knowledge base. --general purpose technology,nanotechnology,specialization,diversification,Marshall-Jacobs controversy,patent and publication analysis

Jane Jacobs and creative cities
No full textIn February 2007, I published a short review of the biography Jane Jacobs: Urban Visionary, in the Dutch weekly Intermediair. It began as follows: “The Jacobses are a close-knit, productive family. The most famous at this moment is perhaps my cousin Marc, chief designer for Louis Vuitton. My uncles Aad and Georges made a career for themselves in Dutch and Belgian business circles. The name of great-uncle Edgard P. might ring a bell among comic strip fans as the author of the renowned Blake & Mortimer series. But the one I’m most proud of is my American-Canadian great-aunt Jane who died last year.” I thought I had laid it on so heavily that nobody would believe that I was related to all these famous Jacobses. But people did believe it! I even received an email from a fellow professor from Delft, who was very impressed by the fact that I was related to the famous Jane Jacobs: “What a small world it is….
