Abstract

in urban drainage systems With increasing global change pressures (urbanisation, climate change, etc.), cities of the future will experience difficulties in managing their water supply, drainage and wastewater. These global change pressures were addressed by SWITCH, an EU 6th Framework research project that developed technological and socio-economic solutions for the sustainable management of water in the city of the future. The project involved 32 partners from across the globe working directly with stakeholders in 12 demonstration cities. An important component of SWITCH was gathering together stakeholders that were involved with, or interested in, urban water management. These multi-stakeholder learning alliances guided and supported SWITCH on implementing research and demonstration activities, by taking account of local problems and needs (Vairavamoorthy 2009b).
