Consortium Leader/ Principal Investigator
︎︎︎ w4cproject.org
The Water4Change (W4C) research programme addresses the complex challenges to urban water systems faced by fast-growing secondary cities in India and the sustainability transitions that are needed for short- and long-term mitigation of, adaptation to and coping with urgencies and uncertainties. By co-creating a Water Sensitive City Framework and a Fit-for-Purpose Guidelines, W4C aims to enable water sensitive development, accounting for site specificities, knowledge and practices, presenting innovative interventions, practices and design, and policy guidelines. Case-study cities: Bhuj, Gujarat;
Integrative and fit-for-purpose water sensitive design for fast growing livable cities
