17. – 18. marts 2016.

Vejle Kommune og Climate-KIC afholder Climathon om oversvømmelser ud fra følgende challeges

Challenge 1: Water management

Vejle is placed by the sea at the end of a river. Rising sea levels as well as more frequent and intense cloudbursts put pressure on the city’s functioning normally. We need to find new ways to manage the water – divert it from the city centre, delay it upstream or store it for a time. We also need to find effective ways of communicating, when the water is coming.

Challenge 2: Urban transition

How can the city cope with the flooding risk and rising water levels and utilise already existing green and recreation spaces? The city and its open spaces need to be transformed to cope with water. This can potentially add value to the city, for example by building on social coherence and readiness for flooding.

Challenge 3: Livability and citizen engagement

A strong, supportive and well-connected neighbourhood is critical to tackle floods and climate challenges. How can citizens take responsibility for our shared city during both floods and between floods, and act to help themselves and their neighbours in times of crisis? Given enough time and resources, engineers can fix most problems. But citizens can also engage, collaborate and thereby shape a supportive neighbourhood and increase livability
