Event Description
The objective of the conference is to highlight the need and benefits of integrating and emphasising water in the planning of European cities of the future.
Urban planners, policy makers and water managers must respond effectively and urgently to the impacts of climate change, growing resource constraints, rapidly increasing global urbanization and the importance of urban needs that create competition between regions and other water uses.
These issues are complex and not subject to readily defined solutions because of the multiple and often competing values held by various stakeholders. The regulatory and policy settings do not adequately incorporate resource constraints or recognition of the challenges being addressed by the urban sector.
