Water Sensitive Cities
Water Sensitive Cities
Water is integral to almost every feature of the urban landscape, and an enabler of more productive, liveable, sustainable and resilient cities.
As the climate changes and cities grow, urban communities are calling for vision, action and collaboration to create a more secure and sustainable water future. Over 9 years (2012–2021), the CRCWSC built an international brand for water sensitive cities and a reputation as a trusted advisor to governments and cities.
It translated its interdisciplinary research into practical tools and guidelines, and used these to build the skills of the sector to create water sensitive cities.
Water sensitive solutions use all water sources, unleash the power of an informed and engaged community, and integrate green and grey infrastructure.
This research provided the blueprint and tools for water sensitive cities (WSC) practices. Working with world-renowned subject matter experts, and industry thought leaders, we work across Australia and internationally, providing a network for cities to learn from each other.
