Water Resilience in a City Wide Context
Online
“A water resilient city is one that can survive and thrive in the face of water-related shocks and stresses — ranging from drought to flooding, storm surges, pollution and sea level rise. They can adequately mitigate the impact on the urban water system, for example, of an earthquake on key water infrastructure.”[1]
The recent tragic events in central and eastern Europe are a reminder of the importance of cities being adequately prepared for natural disasters. This upcoming webinar, sponsored by our corporate member Bentley Systems, will focus on 'Water Resilience in a City-Wide Context,' featuring presentations from a European Commission representative and a city official sharing their best practices and experiences. Following this, an Experts Roundtable will bring together diverse perspectives from various fields, such as digitalization, city planning, academia, and more. The event will take place on October 24th from 11:00 to 12:30 CET and offers an opportunity to engage with stakeholders and learn insights from successful initiatives across Europe.
The program of the webinar is available below.
