Water governance in an urban age

Utilities Policy, 2016, vol. 43, issue PA, 32-41

Abstract: This paper addresses the challenges of constructing alternatives to the current water policy practices, regarding the social and cultural context of an increasing urbanized world. It aims at providing a reflective exercise based upon the analysis of a set of illustrative examples from different regions of the world. By presenting examples of critical problems or innovative approaches, several conclusions are drawn, which intend to clarify the most effective ways to influence water governance and urban policies at the local level.
