Leveraging Water Infrastructure Projects as a Catalyst for Urban Revitalization
Cities are archetypal 鈥榮ystems of systems鈥 鈥 everything connects to and impacts everything else. Elements of cities 鈥 infrastructure, services, open spaces, community activities, and more 鈥 cannot and should not be addressed in isolation. Historically, this mono-dimensional approach has been commonplace. Recognizing, devising, instituting, and operationalizing a comprehensive, integrated systems-based approach to strategy, planning, design, and development of water infrastructure is essential to the future of cities; and cities are fundamental to the global attempts to properly manage the water cycle and address climate change and social inequities. In this 鈥淚n the kNOW鈥 webinar, we will explore the role of water infrastructure projects as catalysts for urban revitalization, presenting a case for this transformative approach and sharing actual examples to highlight its successes to date, while defining remaining challenges.
