The CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC) has developed a Water Sensitive Cities Index, which is designed to benchmark and rank cities and municipalities based on water sensitivity performance, set targets and inform management responses to improve water sensitive practices. It is supported by a web platform to enable visualisations of benchmarking results for a range of audiences, including policy makers and service providers. Our team provided the technical lead for the reconceptualization of the index developing indicators and their ratings to measure performance as well as the framework for structuring the analysis of the results and outlining suggested management actions based on the latest research insights.
Water Sensitive City Outcomes:
- comprehensive policy and planning
- partnership approach
- evidence base
