The intended method is to densify current urban areas rather than continuously expand outward into green areas to keep the natural environment open for nature. Looking at one of the most extreme examples of inner-city densification (Japan) may provide answers for the Dutch context.Most if not all Japanese cities are built with mechanical solutions foreverything. Climate change will stretch the normal functioning of these solutions to their breaking point. Climate adaptation as known in the Netherlands is exploring (and changing towards) nature-based solutions, which can alleviate pressure on and / or entirely negate the mechanical systems currently in place. Can the combined effort of “Japanese style” urbanisation and “Dutch style”climate adaptation lead to a form of high-density climate resilient urbanenvironments so that natural areas may remain as they are?Exchanging ideas may be the way to find solutions together!
