Welcome!

Water in the City (WITC) is a new forum focused on the role of water in the design and urban planning of cities. We will look at cross disciplinary mix of artists, designers, architects, landscape architects, engineers, politicians and theorists around the world who are working on projects related to water.

WITC is interested in urban water not only as hydrology, but also as potential engines/vehicles for all kinds of economic, environmental and social change within cities. Water is a basic building block of life and we as humans are instinctively drawn to it. The presence of accessible water in our cities has the potential to play a huge role in the way we reshape communities in this century, as we strive to create denser more walkable communities.

We are still “under construction” and in a BETA mode. WITC plans to officially launch in June 2010. Feel free to look around and get a preview of our site.
