International Conference on Water and the Cities on September 19-20, 2024 in Toledo, Spain


Welcome to WATER AND THE CITIES 2024

The Toledo School of Architecture of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, is the organiser/venue of the 1st International Congress WATER AND THE CITIES 2024, to be held on 19th and 20th September 2024.

The WATER AND THE CITIES congress is an event that links together professionals and researchers to the need to adapt our current cities to a new climate situation and serves to exchange experiences among them with the aim of sharing traditional and innovative systems that, with a global perspective, can collaborate in the adaptation of our cities. Without large investments, recycling what already exists and fragmenting the solutions into projects that can be assumed by all. Allowing that, from the smallest scale, we are able to use water optimally and always in our favour.

WATER AND THE CITIES is the slogan chosen for the congress, which proposes a transversal structure of the thematic lines of research of the communications: THE ADAPTABLE CITY: BETWEEN FLOODS AND DROUGHT, WATER SUPPLY AND NATURAL COOLING and WATER HERITAGE - to which each of the papers will be assigned according to the subject they deal with and the approach with which it is treated, and in which teachers, researchers and professionals will be able to present their proposals or scientific work.

The time of seemingly limitless water is coming to an end. Changes in rainfall patterns, high temperatures and the irruption of water in quantities that are difficult to manage, force us to rethink our collection, distribution and consumption systems. The subsoil of our cities contains resources that can help us fight overheating. Rainfall, the level of permeability of our soils and new retention systems can help to mitigate the effects of disproportionate water. This meeting on water aims to share traditional systems and innovations that can help our cities adapt to a new climate situation. Without large investments, recycling what already exists and fragmenting solutions into projects that can be assumed by all. Allowing that, from the smallest scale, we are able to use water optimally and always in our favor. https://waterandthecities.com/
