NOMINATION: My MSc Thesis (in the direction of Urbanism) was selected for the NALACS Thesis Award. On February 27, next Friday, the 7 nominees from various disciplines present a Pecha Kucha during a special event. I will briefly share my research results and share some of my experience in Haiti. About NALACS: NALACS, the Netherlands Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, is an association for everyone in the Netherlands who is interested in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its mission is to promote insight and debate on issues related to the region in the Netherlands. About the thesis, in short: The thesis research focuses on formulating a critical alternative approach within (post-disaster re-)development and advocating the relevance of urbanism within (post-disaster re-)development. It explores an education-orientated development approach to transform a community’s infrastructure, strengthening resilience of communities and applying urban structures based on principles of sustainability. The case study is the neighborhood Villa Rosa in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. See excerpt: goo.gl/gzP9sB

6. How is a pattern for spatial planning formulated for a critical
alternative approach to-, and within (post-disaster re-)development?
• Project: Pattern for a spatial strategy within (post-disaster re-)development
• Time: Re-development Phase, long-term (5 to 20< years… )
• Date: post-earthquake (12/1/2010): 2011-2013
• Place: Villa Rosa, Port-Au-Prince – Haiti
• Target group: 1) local active actors; 2) public domain (communities)
• Sector of focus: (Relief &) Development (by int. aid)
• Input: Situated educational paradigm
• Output: Pattern for strategic intervention on urban scale in post-disaster re-development
• Outcome: Strengthening the resilience of communities and provision of tools (interventions) based on principles of sustainability
