“Climate change and urbanization are among the most significant trends of the twenty-first century, affecting global natural resources such as water, economic development and human well-being. The growth of the world population will be absorbed by the cities. It is going faster than ever! The necessity of cities adapting to these trends calls for radical changes in urban water management. We have performed detailed reviews of in the cities of Rotterdam, Dar es Salaam, Hamburg, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Ho Chi Minh City and Melbourne. These papers have been published or are about to be published and are listed on the City Blueprint website.”
