location. The longest distance from the southeast (Bunthaeuser Spitze) to the northwest (Koehlbrandhoeft) is about 13 km. Geographically, the river island is situated in the centre of the municipality of Hamburg. Only separated by the river arm Northern Elbe, Wilhelmsburg adjoins the city centre. Wilhelmsburg is originally a marshland characterised by wet meadows and an artificial drainage system (Baumann & Ackermann, 1995; Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, 1983; Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, 1996). Box 1: Why SWITCH addresses social inclusion and how it is understood Ensuring that decision-making institutions and processes, including research and innovation processes, are socially inclusive is a priority for the SWITCH project, because it is essential if the project outcomes are to be socially sustainable and equitable. Securing the meaningful participation of the most deprived can be difficult, however. A lack of assets, confidence and voice can lead to such groups being left out of decision-making processes and development interventions can sometimes make them even more marginalised and disempowered. There are three main dimensions of social exclusion. People can be excluded because of: what they have (or what they do not have) in the way of resources, also termed ‘economic deprivation’; where they live (spatial deprivation, such as the stigma from living in the ‘wrong part of town’ which may prevent otherwise good candidates from getting a job); simply because of who they are (identity-based discrimination including gender). This paper sets out the conceptual underpinnings of social inclusion and exclusion and explains why it is relevant to urban water management. Source: http://www.switchurbanwater.eu/page/2367 New city development policy and strategy In the past, the Elbe delta area housed the Hamburg harbour and harbour-related industries. The abandonment of the old docking area and the closure or departure of the old industries initially led to the economic and social decline of the area, with negative impacts on the original local population and the low-income immigrants that had settled there. Increasing social disturbances in the eighties and early nineties led to the adoption of a citizens‘ participation policy for urban development. In the second half of the 1990s, Hamburg gradually began to discover the attractive potential of its waterfronts. The ―Leap across the Elbe‖ from the inner city across the ―Harbour City‖, the Grasbrook, the Veddel and Wilhelmsburg towards the community of Harburg on the southern side of the Elbe river (Figure 4), is the core of the city‘s vision entitled ―Hamburg Metropolis – a growing city‖. Hamburg city adopted the framework concept ―Leap across the Elbe‖ on 8 December 2005. In the geographic centre of this city of the future, an opportunity exists to gradually cater for this growth in a qualitative way in an area that was previously seen as a burden. Next to prestige projects, the opportunity should also be used to implement projects of diversity (of cultures) on the island. City renewal / rehabilitation sits at the centre of this approach to address both emigration and immigration patterns in a socially stabilizing way. 19
Figure 4: Future "Leap across the Elbe" The citizen‘s participation mechanism ―MITwirken in Wilhelmsburg‖ is part of the larger Hamburg municipal urban development programme. This programme promotes the improvement of livelihoods in parts of the city with particular needs. On the island, the central body is the formal District Urban Development Committee (DUDC). The DUDC met for the first time in Wilhelmsburg on 25 November 1996. Hamburg SWITCH Learning Alliance Since end 2006, the Hamburg city coordinators of the SWITCH project are promoting the setting up of a learning alliance to address integrated urban water management (IUWM) issues. The coordinating partner in Hamburg is the newly created Hafen (=Harbour) City University of Hamburg, in particular its City Planning department. The SWITCH Learning Alliance Hamburg (Hamburg LA) facilitates the joint action oriented learning and sharing between practitioners and research and enables practice focussed research. The LA members include stakeholder groups from research institutes (the Hafen City University Hamburg and the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg), various relevant city administration agencies, the IBA 13 and the IGS 14 , Hamburg harbour and water companies, and various civil society organizations (including the Wilhelmsburg DUDC). The Hamburg LA focus on IUWM implies attention for social inclusion measures, for which the project will build on the ―MITwirken‖ experience. The Hamburg LA decided to focus its activities on the island of Wilhelmsburg to synergize with the IBA and IGS initiatives there and to build on the citizen‘s participation experiences on the island. The thematic focus is the development of the ―Integrated Urban Water Management Plan 2030‖. 13 IBA = Internationale Bau Austellung (International Building Exposition) 14 IGS = Internationale Garten Show (International Garden Show) 20
