With the support of HE Dr Sophal Pen, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), the RUCaS team has been working with representatives from MLMUPC and E2Designlab (a Water Technology company) to develop a catalogue of nature-based solutions for Wetland Cities that can be applied throughout Cambodia. The Wetland City concept integrates urban activities with seasonal flood and drought cycles.
The catalogue translates the Wetland City concept into NbS typologies with cross-sections, indicative layouts and example costs and benefits.
This workshop was an opportunity to test the typologies with stakeholders, to ensure they are practical, relevant and align with Cambodia’s 9-step district and municipal land use master planning guide and other policies.
Feedback from the workshop will be used to revise the draft catalogue, and develop a plan for mainstreaming the catalogue.
