When looking towards the region you can see different trends happening in the Netherlands. These can form threats for the region. Trends like greyfication, urban age, and shrinkage have influence on future functioning of the region. To prevent these trends from declining the livability the region needs to become resilient to the social, economical and environmental challenges in the 21 century. It needs to be able to deal with these future changes and design with them. By designing with these trends and their influence it’s possible to create a system in the region which is adaptable for these trend. A new system of networks and clusters can be created to form the base of future development and steer in creating connections.
Resilience focuses upon processes of reorganization. For complex urban system, dynamics that can be represented by an adaptive cycle, which shows four major phases. Firstly, problems lie in old structure, it has potential for change, then new cognitive started, and actions start to transform the structure to a more efficient one, the innovations will be tested in the near future, some fail and others survive and fit into a new process of cycle. This principle forms the base of the strategy. The plan contains two parts: network and clustering. These two elements work together in forming a new coherent structure for the future. They will enhance each other and will adapt to the trends happening.
FACILITIES Phase 3
NETWORKS
Phase 2
Phase 1
The network will be formed by a new regional public transport network. This to increase the accessibility between places. The network should be none preferable and evenly spread out in the region. In this way the people of the region and the cities both benefit from it. At this moment Zwolle holds close to all regional facilities and functions. This creates a dependency of surroundings on Zwollle and enforces the shrinkage of the region by people moving towards Zwolle. So it’s necessary to let villages work together to tackle this problem and setup collective shopping centers to support their cluster. This way they will be less dependent on Zwolle for these facilities. To maintain the livability and balance over the region we want to use Robin Hood principle to redistribute facilities. There will be villages that can support clusters and by combing the region and network we can give access to all people to the shops. By the redirecting of shops and clustering of villages together they can work in setting up and maintaining functions. Villages and cities will actively support each other and they can create facilities they otherwise couldn’t sustain alone. This means facilities will be close by and accessible for all groups and people. You can live wherever in the region and still benefit from the facilities of the big cities. The pod system will be introduced in the region in a few phases. In the first phase the pod system will be introduced within the region. The system will follow a route to loop around the region. Within the village clusters the bus will remain active since the system will be slowly introduced in the region. In the next phase the pod can be ordered from the stage on the route which will then also include the region. It will be ondemand, it will follow in the begin a pattern of fixed lines but in contrary to the bus these lines are more flexible and not loops. The last phase will provide a pod-system from doorto d oor and on demand. The already exciting pod-infrastructure can be used as a storage and charging places for the pods from which they travel to the demanded location The podsystem can be integrated within the already existing infrastructure. To create a preference for this system
towards car use we can create separated lanes for public transport and pods. This will manly by on important regional connection and congested places within the city. Also in the city we can use already active bus roads to create shortcuts for the pod system. The region will be less depend on cars and insufficient bus system. Mobility will go up and it will be easy to travel to any places within the region. The system offers in the end quick easy access to any point in the region, this way the connection towards facilities in rural areas will be good and we can prevent shrinking of remote areas. People don’t need to move to the bigger cities to maintain their livability. Also the mobility of elderly can go up since the pod system can pick them up by their homes and it helps to stimulate the supporting size system since it’s easy access towards them. The system can go everywhere in the region and this contributes to the balanced system and resilience of the region. The network and reorganization of function will prevent shrinkage of the smaller towns of the region. It will keep the region mobile and more active since people in the region will more actively share facilities and work together. It will be less depended on Zwolle and have a more divers character. The strategy isn’t the answer to all problems and threats for the region. But the strategy can form the base for the framework of future plans for the region. It can prevent from favoring Zwolle in regional development. Looking in the context of the Netherlands can we use this strategy to deal with the trends and make other regions in the country resilient? The plan is a tailor made solution, however some of the elements can be used for restructuring other regions in the Netherlands. The pod network can be implemented on any place and the organization of functions can help to tackle shrinkage. However this region has a strong economical structure with Zwolle while regions like North Groningen and Limburg are struggling with adapting to their economic position.
Bridge length 225 m opening element 50 m Meppel - Kampen now 40 min. Meppel - Kampen new 25 min. Aimed effect: Harbour - Improve the export capability and goods flow towards the hinterland. Bridge - Create better connection between Kampen and Mappel. Bring Genemuiden and Zwartsluis together to work along.
Impression
Harbour- By developing an international harbour in Kampen, the travel distance of ships will be less. By extending the railway to the new harbour, a direct connection to Germany will be formed. The new harbour will be the biggest export partner of the region. As a result, Kampen will be more attractive to live as more jobs are provided. Water management can be taken in the former harbour areas.

Bridge - The new bridge near Genemuiden provides a connection over the ‘Zwarte water’ and also a linkage between Meppel and Kampen. It provides separated lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Cars are not expected otherwise the identity of Genemuiden will be harmed. The streets stay the same and noiseless POD´s will be introduced. Ships can pass when the decks shift into the bridge. Its unique structure can be an icon for the region.

FACILITY VILLAGE - ELBURG
Within the strategy, clusters of villages are formed so that the villages can facilitate for themselves. In each cluster there is a facility village where all the bigger shops of the village cluster are located. This is Elburg. In phase one an extra shopping street with big shops (HEMA, H&M etc.), bars and restaurants will be added. A division between local shops and the bigger shops will be made by placing them in different streets. The retail will be placed in the existing houses. Only the façade on the ground floor can be changed but the top floors need to remain the same. The identity of Elburg which is based on the housing will be maintained. The gym that is located just outside the city will house health facilities. With the easy access of the POD’s to this location elderly people can easily get health care at one location. When the shopping street shows to be successful and there is potential for growth the next shopping streets can be added in phase 2.

The city of Kampen will get a new position in the region by it’s new harbour and the supporting size system. In combination with the already existing retail in the city. Kampen can become a showcase city for the region showing regional products and technologies. This principle can help to reform the retail landscape of the city. Retail is changing because of the online shopping and so vacancy goes up, but it’s not about m2 of space but of the qualities of the area. By creating three different shopping themes it’s possible to create a more attractive shopping and staying area. The themes are Surprise & shop, Story & shop and Travel & Shop. The quay will be redeveloped in to a pleasant boulevard with water related retail and leisure. It will hold quick shifting retail and workshops, shop-for-week. The shopping street will transfer from littered with signs and products to a clear street with interactive edge between shop and street. Travel and go is for easy access ordering online, picking them up at station or hub and continue they journey. The three themes together form a new more resilient retail climate for Kampen.

The harbour of Meppel now functions as industrial area, one high- rise building will be maintained. By adopting Triple Helix to the interactive port, science centres are created as links between firms, the public and academic research groups. HBO Meppel will be established to serve the region better, developing a knowledge- based strategy and speeding up socio- economic development. Axis along two new bridges will be introduced, waterfront surrounding the port will be reclaimed as public spaces with high quality of design in order to improve the image of the port as well as city of Meppel. The accesses, orientation and height of the buildings should be carefully controlled. External and internal public spaces pattern is promoted which enhancing the free flow of people, ideas and innovations. Bus service on the commuting line is necessary once the HBO is set up, POD’s system also fits the network. Two phasing options are provided, but public realm should be created in the first place. Large cargo ships will be limited in the eastern water lane in the future in order to create a more pleasant environment.
