Abstract
AbstractThis chapter examines how different drivers and institutions at multiple levels of the urban water governance regime shape water-related challenges in the Metropolitan Valley of Mexico City (MVMC). It uncovers the causal links behind these water challenges and the effectiveness of existing policy instruments. It reviews the relevant context of Mexican urban water governance and its main drivers (see Sect. 8.2). It analyses the driving forces on the city from local to global level. Section 8.3 then explores which formal actors and institutions shape Urban Water Management (UWM) in the MVMC. Section 8.4 analyses the instruments of UWM according to their stated mandates, their effect on actors’ behaviour and their impacts on inclusive and sustainable water governance. Finally, the chapter summarizes the main empirical findings and considers how more appropriate instruments could be (re)designed for the Mexico City case study in relation to UWM (see Sect. 8.5).
