Water is crucial for the development of every city. All over the world, cities are confronted with increased and uncontrolled urbanization, higher risks of flooding, scarcity of water for industry, households and ecosystems, rising pollution, ground subsidence, climate change and energy shortages. In addition, ever higher demands are being placed on our living environment, and citizens are becoming more outspoken in standing up for their rights. At the same time, we have more and more technologies at our disposal for measurement, processing information and purifying water for multiple use. Key purpose of the Delft 'Water & the City' conference is to bring together a select group of representatives from the fields of Science, Engineering and Design from all over the world, and get them to actively work together on one of four cases of cities around the world facing their own specific water ‘challenges’: Working conference This Water & the City conference will require active participation from the attendees. In three workshop rounds, we will approach the four water challenge cases first from a Science perspective, then an Engineering perspective, followed by the Design perspective. Each workshop will last half a day. The closing part of this two day conference will then be dedicated to bringing together the insights gathered during the separate workshop sessions.
