Abstract:Urban water governance systems are currently in a state of significant change, opening up a window of opportunity to move towards more sustainable practices. It is important that this opportunity is harnessed by city water managers' to ensure that our urban water environments become more adaptive, resilient and enable the protection of essential ecological, social and economic qualities. As the two presentations will demonstrate, active engagement between the scientific, practitioner and political communities are an essential ingredient to realising Water Sensitive Cities.

neutral  Florencio Alonso: Estoy de acuerdo pero tiene que traducir "sustainable, water-sensitve cities". O sea que tienen que ser sustentables y ADEMÁS hidrológicamente sostenibles, quedaría un poco redundante.// ¿Qué tal "sustentables e hidrológicamente eficientes"?

  -> Cierto, no había caído, -sostenibles e hidrológicamente eficientes- me parece lo mejor. Un saludo!
