Cities, designers, and communities can work together to build water-resilient places that are both innovative and beautiful. This panel will showcase existing solutions and identify how EU policies and NEB values can accelerate their adoption. This means considering how water-sensitive design can not only reduce climate risks, but also enhance biodiversity, public space quality and community well-being, making water a driver of regeneration rather than a constraint.
