Water as Leverage for Climate Adaptation: Wadden Sea Region 1.3 Time and space for collective pre-project preparation by design Process of pre-project preparation In every sector – nature, water management, agriculture, residential development and so on – there are investments to deal with climate change. Today’s climate-related challenges are fundamentally interdependent, as the opportunities for development and progress. Yet every sector formulates its own projects, from one perspective, leading to mutually counteractive effects on the ground and often when processes have evolved too far. There is no time, space or process for the phase of integration of the different sectoral needs into resilient, win-win solutions. That is precisely what Water As Leverage brings in: a common workroom where different stakeholders are involved in the pre-project preparation phase of integrated waterrelated projects. At the same time, it is not a theoretical environment: financing parties participate from the start in order to develop the fundability of the implementation. A workroom supported by design The approach brings in the capacity of design to act as an integrator between different levels of innovation. It is able to combine technical innovation (integrated, nature-based and climate resilient solutions), social innovation (an inclusive process), and financial innovation (bankability of the implementation). As such, it aims to formulate solutions that will be replicable on many places facing the same type of challenges (focus on scalability). The example on the right (figure 4) is a school pilot in Chennai designed by OOZE architects & urbanists, City of 1000 Tanks team. Within the free space of Water as Leverage, OOZE chose to start working on the renovation of a school complex in which water forms an integral part of the design. As a result, they realize three interesting breakthroughs. First, by choosing a concrete and ambitious pilot project, they could move very quickly to implementation, generating the confidence that the trajectory can deliver. The result is a school for 800 pupils, of which 300 resident students and staff, that uses 27,000 liters water per day. Secondly, this ambition is inscribed in the city’s broader master plan (A City of 1000 Tanks). The school is a first stepping stone in a broader implementation project that can generate water for 70,000 inhabitants and contributes to a citywide plan with 14 million beneficiaries. Thirdly, the project is also a pilot project as a school. When scaling up this typology to the urban education programme, 415 schools can easily be reconverted. Scaled up to the national level, the proposal even has a potential impact on 260 million students. Master plans made within the water sector or within the national department of education have never led to concrete projects so quickly and have never incorporated shared objectives in its design before. By this design approach, Water as Leverage avoids sectoral silos and vested interests. Instead, it organizes innovation, transformation, and effective climate adaptation impact through the tools of broad collaboration, organized deliberation, and design. The program identifies needs and opportunities while building partnerships across all layers of society, all relevant institutions, and all programmes. 14 Call for action
