Purpose and goal
The project aims to develop flood-resilient communities by 2035 through a systemic and future-oriented analysis. It will conduct an environmental and stakeholder analysis to identify challenges and relevant stakeholders, propose business and financing models, explore legislative flexibility, and promote knowledge enhancement. Centered around a case study in Uppsala, the project builds on ongoing initiatives and will gather more stakeholders to develop proposals for a follow-up project.
Expected effects and result
The results of the project include a systemic and future-oriented analysis through an environmental and stakeholder analysis, a long-term stakeholder group, and proposals for follow-up projects within WWS. The effects of this are to lay the foundation for creating flood-resilient communities by 2035.
