Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.3.1 Issues of Scale

Course subject(s) 4. Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping

In this video Prof. Jill Slinger will introduce the issue of scale in designing and implementing Building with Nature innovations.  The video was produced for use in a standard teaching course within Delft University of Technology, and she therefore addresses the viewer as “an engineer”. For the course Beyond Engineering: Building with Nature 2x, the term engineer can be understood to be all of you – course participants interested in nature-based engineering and planning.

In the video, she uses an example from Dutch coastal policy and management to illustrate how the disciplinary background and tasks of actors can influence their scale preferences, and explains the Analytical Scale Hierarchy for Sandy Coasts.
