Urban Resilience World
A central platform for understanding how cities respond to flooding, drought and water scarcity and what it takes to make those solutions work in practice.
Urban areas under pressure
Cities are increasingly exposed to climate-related water challenges. From flooding and heavy rainfall to drought and water scarcity: cities are under growing pressure to adapt, and for many people, this is already part of everyday life.
The Urban Resilience World focuses on practical solutions that help cities and their people respond and build resilience. Here, this comes together in areas such as flood protection, drought management, water reuse and nature-based solutions, supported by data-driven approaches and financing models.
By bringing together water technology, urban planning and real-world case studies, this World offers insight into how these solutions work in practice and what it takes to make them feasible, scalable and effective in complex urban environments.
