Tides of Time: The Dutch Delta Works as Time-Mediating Climate Adaptation Infrastructure by Huub Dijstelbloem, Victor Toom, Annick de Vries

“…By examining the development of the Dutch Delta Works, a set of infrastructures initiated after the 1953 North Sea floods that killed more than 1,800 people, the article reconceptualizes the development from the response to the 1953 disaster to its current relationship with the consequences of climate change, in particular rising sea levels, river water inflows and weather fluctuations such as increased rainfall. By situating the development of the Delta Works in relation to Kairos, a period of transition and transformation, rather than Krisis as a response to an immediate disaster, the analysis presents a multifaceted perspective on the relationship between infrastructures, time and temporality. …”
