ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: What impacts do civic initiatives have on climate adaptation policy regarding precipitation, green and heat and whether these impacts are integrated in new municipal policy in the city of Rotterdam? In this research two case studies in Rotterdam were used, namely Aktiegroep ‘Het Oude Westen’ and the Essenburgpark. The financial situation, the support within the community and the communication with the municipality are the main challenges. Especially communication seems to be a stumbling block. Boundary spanners are used to improve the communication between the different groups. 
The research identified that civic initiatives have impact on local policies, especially within their own initiative. However, the impacts of initiatives on municipal policy is limited. Furthermore, it appears to be difficult to implement approaches city wide due to differences in social dimension/social network and differences in demography and local problems.
