IWA Congress Talks: Water for Smart Liveable Cities | Launch: White Paper

This edition unfolds interesting lessons on urban water management learned from the Danish water sector, as presented in a White Paper from State of Green and IWA DK. Speakers present experiences from selected Danish utilities, consultancies and technology providers related to the Congress topic: Water for smart liveable cities.

This Congress Talks edition looks into technical solutions, the enabling environment, and discusses the role of digitalisation towards liveable cities. The discussions will have an introductory form, including pitches of digital solutions and case study presentations on service provision and urban transformation that will serve as a teaser for exciting sessions to come in WWCE 2021 Copenhagen.
