Urban-metabolism and water-commons research was presented during a Louvain4Water seminar on contemporary urban-water challenges. The seminar connected infrastructure, resource flows, water governance and community self-organisation through interdisciplinary approaches. The discussion centres on Urban water, Water commons, Infrastructure, and Interdisciplinarity.

The contribution is developed through Research seminar and interdisciplinary discussion. The geographical or conceptual scope is Comparative urban-water contexts.

The contribution reflects the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence to translate urban-metabolism research into planning, design, governance or policy.
