Co-design of water-sensitive settlement upgrading

Co-design of water-sensitive settlement upgrading is a co-design report and part of a three-part series of reports produced in partnership with the Asian Development Bank, which showcases the possibilities, principles and best practices for a water-sensitive cities approach to transform urban health and wellbeing.

Co-design of water-sensitive settlement upgrading provides more detailed information and guidance on how to design and deliver a community-based, participatory process for project implementation. It equips the reader with an understanding of the tools and techniques that can foster meaningful participation of settlement residents, as well as government, industry and service provider stakeholders, into the design and delivery of water-sensitive upgrading projects.

This co-design report draws on the experience in Indonesia and Fiji with the demonstration projects at Batua and Tamavua-i-Wai, as well the experience with co-design in six other sites under phase 1 of upgrading in Makassar, Indonesia as part of an Asian Development Bank grant.
