The project consists out of a research part: ‘Critical Alternative Approach to/within Post-disaster Re-Development’ and a design part: ‘Spatial Strategy to Enable Cultural Resilience in Villa Rosa, Port-Au-Prince (Haiti)’.The research outcome presents a critical alternative approach in strategy within (post-disaster re-)development. It describes the relevance of urbanism and urban planning in the practice of development. The approach links educational development projects to overall improvement of infrastructure by structuring resilient and sustainable interventions as principal objectives. The design is a spatial strategy. The design outcome present the materialization of the research findings as well as a critical approach to resilient and sustainable urban planning which reflects the need for urban strategies concerning the contemporary, global issue of rapid urbanization: slumming.
The project advocates the relevancy of urbanism in the practice of development and the practice of post-disaster re-development (long-term relief/aid work). As the literature review is built upon studies from other disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology, and education/pedagogy, its interpretation through urbanism relates contemporary discussions of aid to spatial strategies. Meaning, the project in itself arguments critique formulated from external disciplines to an alternative spatial configuration. It uses political, land (rights), and socio-economic contexts to formulate the approach. Therefore the project is relevant in academic and general discussions. Adjacent, the social-orientation of the project is relevant to a wider social context because it argues and illustrates how in contemporary, post-Modern, times society is dealing with rapid urbanization (slumming) and a severe lack of initiatives to improve and appropriate the much needed infrastructure.
The urban interventions are characterized with a set of properties which structure the spatial configuration. The (idealistic) organizational model; the abstraction of governance, is a dynamic process. As the specific roles/tasks of actor groups evolve the physical interventions require enhancements. The urban form therefore is influencing-, as well as influenced by organizational structures.
The methodological approach of the research and design builds upon a previous research conducted in a graduation project for MSc Architecture: ‘Identity in Post-Disaster Re-Development. The methodological approach towards a pattern for planning (= main goal of the research) follows two directions. One, a critical analysis of the territory and approach within mitigating risk to hazards and other crises via (international aid-) development. Second, the formulated philosophy of education-orientated development planning.The design part is using the pattern to materialize the philosophy and the critique on development. It constructs a vision based on respectively the approach (social landscape, operational landscape, public domain) and critique on development (revolution & ownership). This vision is used in the process of designing to zoom in on four critical projects and reflected back upon the coherent plan in order to finalize the spatial strategy (see image).
Two distinct paradigms, or in process of production; two discourses, are systematically united to form a third, improved form. This situated discourse has a new identity and is place-bound.
Evident in the various forms of (artistic) expression/
vodou culture & religion. This nucleus of generic Haitian
production allows the Haitian culture to adapt (to) external
resources, combine with local, and enable a new, colorful
expression.

organizationHuman capital; education and training (knowledge and skills),
Institutional capital; political voice (influence) and
accountability
The heuristic approach implies an accessible and comprehensible apparatus for local actors. Adjacent it
implies trial-and-error way of constructing solution to locally
assessed needs.
This concept answers the need for participatory approaches by
advocating that the involved actors can only be involved if there is a sense of ownership
to be acquired, recognizing fragmented identities.
This handover phase is the bridge between the transitional phase and
permanent development phase. During this phase,
NGOs formulate exit strategies.
Principal initiatives such as schools are depending on funding and modes of taxation, such as tuition, to operate. Both the funding as well as tuition are acquired through specific strategies within development. The central idea behind tuition is reciprocity. The mobilization of the community, e.g. through labor, could suffice as tuition. This labor is part of the integrated interventions which solves local problems in other areas. For example, the waste obstructing the local drainage systems can be cleared and maintained through heuristic jobs accessible to the community or managed via CBOs.
Departing from a co-operative approach with three primary actors, capacity building is a concept used to make multiple partnerships possible. The critical assessed needs asks for communities to organize and mobilize in local organizations. Adjacent NGOs and Government are initiating major projects which simultaneously enable the building up of assets through provision of resources.
This conceptualization of local governance is focusing on enabling influential organizations to govern interventions. Capacity building is essential for the three main actor groups: • NGOs, • Government, • and communities. The main objectives of these groups, and hence the orientation of interventions as incentives, are respectively: • integrating local identity in development
discourse,• the handover,• and agglomeration.
The partnership between groups make up the proxy-State, CBOs/CSOs, and civic organization/GROs which are the essential political formations for governing projects towards a idealistic phase.
