Water and the City Conference, 6 – 7 Feb 2020

About the Event

Abridged synopsis reproduced from original listing on ari.nus.edu.sg (Registration link):

This conference is organized by Asia Research Institute, and Institute of Water Policy at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.

In this workshop, we focus on people’s relationship with water in the city, including the institutions of governance, public narratives and the policy and social implications of dependence on large, centralized hydraulic infrastructures. We use a governance lens to interrogate the permutations which water infrastructure can take, and the way in which people interact this artificial yet vital part of the hydrological landscape.
