Innovative Water & Sanitation Solutions
for Urban Development
Urban Waters embraces a holistic view of urban development that aligns with contemporary international development paradigms and practices reflected in Agenda 2030 SDGs and concomitant New Urban Agenda. Finding out how to support and build on a city´s homegrown search for solutions, is fundamental to our approach. Essentially this relies on collaboratively identifying physical, spatial and institutional strategies to enable municipalities and water utilities to progress towards their goals.
We develop livable, hygienic and resilient water & sanitation solutions through tailor-made, nature-based and decentralized cluster approaches. Urban Waters brings together grassroots expertise from the world.
