Each city h<strong>as</strong> different<br />
vulnerabilities in relation to<br />
water-related risks and in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
capacity to deal with <strong>the</strong>se<br />
risks. There is often no holistic<br />
urban plan that addresses<br />
water issues in an effective<br />
way, and, in c<strong>as</strong>e an overall<br />
plan exists, it generally lacks<br />
a comprehensive approach<br />
to support <strong>the</strong> development<br />
of sustainable projects.<br />
Inadequate governance and<br />
planning strategies may<br />
lead to a c<strong>as</strong>cading chain of<br />
dis<strong>as</strong>trous consequences that<br />
eventually incre<strong>as</strong>es risks and<br />
vulnerability. The aim is to<br />
deliver not only trans<strong>for</strong>mative<br />
and bankable projects, but also<br />
to streng<strong>the</strong>n local capacity<br />
to help carry <strong>the</strong>se projects<br />
<strong>for</strong>ward and engage in a range<br />
of interventions on all levels:<br />
from better overall governance<br />
plans to excellent projects<br />
implemented in <strong>the</strong> complexity<br />
of <strong>the</strong> local planning scheme.<br />
