Context

Traditional FRM- living with water Traditional master planning – participatory urban planning Flow control – catchment management Urban rural delineation – greening of urban spaces From analytical thinking to pluralist inclusive vision making

Blue green infrastructure requires a cooperative approach and multidisciplinary thinking

But how?

Too busy Somebody else’s problem Silo Thinking

Lack of Trust Jargon Lack of knowledge Fragmentation of knowledge

Learning and Action Alliances (LAA)

A LAA is usually an open arrangement where participants create a Joint

understanding of a problem and its possible solutions based on

rational criticism and coherence through discussion. It facilitates the identification of

innovative ideas for the solution of complex (wicked) problems outside the constraints of existing formal institutional settings. Solutions or ideas are afterwards presented in formal inter-organisational decision-making processes.

Learning and Action Alliances (LAA)

Learning and action alliances typically consist of a series of structured platforms at different institutional levels (city, river basin, national, international) designed to break down barriers to both horizontal and vertical information sharing and thus to speed up the process of identification, adaptation and uptake of new information
