Abstract

This chapter explores the transition challenges and opportunities facing
urban water sectors globally, as pressures from urbanisation, climate change and
ecological degradation drive new approaches to urban water management. Framed
around the vision of a future Water Sensitive City and drawing on empirical
evidence from a case study of storm-water quality management in Melbourne,
Australia, this chapter presents a framework for benchmarking a city’s progress
in its urban water transition. It provides a nuanced understanding of how these
complex change processes unfold and identifies the enabling conditions that can
be used to help steer change in urban water systems towards the envisioned
water sensitive city.
