Summer School // Accelerating the transition to circular cities with nature-based solutions for water treatment

From June 29, 2022 to July 1, 2022

INRAE, Villeurbanne

The course will provide a holistic view on the usage of NBS to address circularity and circular cities. More than discussing concepts and state-of-the-art, the course will also expand on the different key dimensions key for the implementation of NBS for urban water management. The course will touch upon technical issues from planning (geographical and hydraulic), through design (NBS technology selection) to implementation (Enhanced Natural Treatment Solutions (ENTS)); as well as viability due to economic aspects and regulatory issues dealing with water quality and ecotoxicology.
