Water, Energy, and Society in Urban Systems
Session ID#: 78059
Session Description:
Urbanization creates areas of intense hydrological and ecological anthropization, with distinct hydrology and energy balance dynamics, infrastructure stresses, and altered ecosystem configurations. In the coming decades, climate change and aging infrastructure will interplay with poorly understood implications for these coupled systems in existing cities, and complicate the development of emerging urban areas. Understanding how urban water and energy systems - and their interdependencies – function and evolve across space and time will be key to inform coordinated planning, design, and management policies.
This session invites research on processes at the nexus of water, energy and society in urban systems, including studies that consider societal structure, planning, design, and governance at this nexus and implications for equity and social-ecological resilience. Studies that investigate the complex, multi-scale, integrated water and energy management, regional planning, green infrastructure, and emerging technologies and policies that lead to transformation in a changing climate are particularly encouraged.
