… and we <strong>as</strong>k <strong>for</strong><br />
comprehensive<br />
proposals that endorse<br />
strategies combining<br />
solutions <strong>for</strong> water and<br />
urban challenges …<br />
We want to invite multidisciplinary<br />
teams consisting<br />
of water, climate and urban<br />
experts that are experienced<br />
in developing strategies or<br />
projects that tackle water<br />
issues and climate and that,<br />
at <strong>the</strong> same time, enhance <strong>the</strong><br />
urban environment <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
part of.<br />
To make this question more<br />
concrete per city, <strong>Water</strong> <strong>as</strong><br />
<strong>Leverage</strong> h<strong>as</strong> already initiated<br />
prospective research on many<br />
levels; local and regional<br />
desktop research, on-site<br />
explorations through field<br />
trips and conversations with<br />
potential stakeholders h<strong>as</strong><br />
nourished both overarching<br />
knowledge concerning <strong>the</strong><br />
region and in-depth insights on<br />
<strong>the</strong> ground.<br />
B<strong>as</strong>ed on this prospective<br />
research, a series of concrete<br />
design questions or challenges<br />
touching upon city-specific<br />
issues were identified. All of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se questions and challenges<br />
are <strong>the</strong>matized in relation to<br />
<strong>the</strong> recurring perspectives that<br />
are described in Chapter 1.<br />
Thus, <strong>the</strong>y serve <strong>as</strong> potential<br />
approaches or pathways that<br />
could help <strong>the</strong> submitting<br />
teams to orient <strong>the</strong>ir proposals<br />
towards relevant project plans<br />
per city.<br />
