| Webinar: Urbanisation and flood risks: understanding the fabric and governance of Delta cities (9 May 2017) Delta regions across the world are rich in natural resources and economic opportunities. As a result, they have historically been home to dense, growing urban communities. The process of urbanisation is often rapid and results in formal and informal urban fabric. Planned and unplanned urbanisation processes both affect delta infrastructures. A variety of institutions and stakeholders generate these simultaneous processes.
What is the relationship between formal-informal and planned-unplanned urbanisation processes in the world’s deltas? How do they affect the urban water system and the allocation of flood risks? How does the physical battle for space relate to various stakeholders and their financial, executive and judicial capacities? The webinar will discuss some of these interdependencies in Baranquilla, Beira and Ho Chi Minh City. Delta Alliance / PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency |

| Webinar: Rural urban linkages combining safety and quality of living in delta cities (17 April 2017) The framework of delta development will be discussed through two cases: the Parana delta in Argentina, where rapid urbanisation threatens the sustainability of urban communities and the Volta delta in Ghana, where a combination of urban development and industrial agriculture is putting pressures on food supply and livelihoods of local communities.
Next to these two cases a discussion will held on the relation between urban food security and delta development. A question and answer session will be included in the webinar and will be concluded with a reflection on the framework presented. Delta Alliance Secretary / Wageningen Environmental Research |
