Water, Megacities and Global Change: Portraits of 15 Emblematic Cities of the World

“Each of the megacities in this publication has specific local conditions characterizing their geographic, climatic, hydrogeologic, demographic and economic situations. However, they also share similar water governance challenges with multiple actors focused on their own duties and concerns. As such, they can work together to produce solutions for climate change adaptation. Water issues in large cities encompass far too many aspects to be concentrated in a small number of hands. To produce a global vision requires cooperation among experts from multiple disciplines.”
