By 2050, seven out of 10 people are expected to live in cities. As cities continue to grow, so does their exposure to climate and disaster risk. Rapid urbanisation is inevitable and will bring additional infrastructure challenges, particularly on water. Which cities and utilities are being proactive and getting it right? What can others learn from their lessons so far?
The second in a three-part discussion series dives into practical cases, showcasing city and utilities leading the way when it comes to building a resilient water supply to counter scarcity, as well as reengineering city infrastructure to better handle too much water.
