The three steps of Water Connects
Characteristics and examplesConclusionsSlide3
Why?Slide4Slide5
Expectations
Improved safety by reducing flood risk and pollution
Attractive, multifunctional environments with high spatial quality
Sustainable environments that residents appreciate
A range of economic benefits.Slide6Slide7Slide8
This kind of water is not appreciatedSlide9

Three levels of approach
1. Basic water management
2. Functional water management
3. Pure approach – Water ConnectsSlide13

CitySlide19
Traditional planning
(functional water management)
Has a limited view on economic aspects
Is not able to deal with flooding and climate change
Does not take into account the vibrant character of fringe zonesDoes not take into account effectively values given by peopleIs at high risk to suffer from declining (low spatial quality, low diversity, etc.)
Water is a problem (negative)Water is too expensiveWater is something that belongs to the governmentSlide20
(3) Water Connects – The Pure ApproachSlide21
Four Basic Elements
Solidness
Lightness, humour
Passion
ConnectionSlide22
Pure discoveries
Water physically connects urban and rural areas
Water “as a friend” is a base for spatial quality and identity
Water provides a shared focus point to participants
Water connects people and improves their mutual cooperationWater connects theory and practice
Especially in the urban fringe areaSlide23
Three steps
Unlock values (e.g. participation)
Translate values into development
vision
(planning with a view)Implement the project and organise appropriate maintenanceSlide24

Learning by doing
We have produced 15 projects and plans at different spatial scales, ranging from strategic Development Visions for entire catchment areas to material implementation projects like reed beds.Slide26

ParticipationSlide33
A lot of practical experiences
No magic formula for the doing of participation
In all stages: if participation is to mean more than ticking boxes simply to fulfil administrative requirements
Trust, understanding, sense of ownership, honesty, clarity, etc.

Values
Improve natural and cultural environmentImprove the quality of the waterMake the area more accessible to the publicSlide42
Water connects
Improved safety by reducing flood risk and pollution
Attractive, multifunctional environment with high spatial quality
Sustainable environments that residents appreciate
A range of social economic benefits, etc.
… and it’s more fun!… and more rewardingSlide43
PatternSlide44
Added value European cooperation
Financial: support for implementation
Exchange of Knowledge and ExperienceCultural differences as an opportunityBetter plans (PURE Check)Cooperation beyond exchange
Improved regional cooperationInformal network → innovationSlide45

Conclusions
It was toughA real Pure family feeling emerged out of an intensive cooperative processA lot of new innovations
At the end out goals were clearNow it is time to harvest ….
