| Summary: | This note describes the outcomes of a
June 2018 knowledge exchange visit to study urban water
management and urban renewal experiences in Brazil.
Participants included 23 country representatives and 9 World
Bank staff from Ethiopia, Ghana, and Indonesia who visited
the two Brazilian cities of São Paulo and Teresina. São
Paulo is a mega-city that has addressed serious urban water
issues—from water scarcity and flooding to informal
settlements and water supply, sanitation, and pollution—over
the past couple decades. Teresina, meanwhile, is a
medium-sized town that has integrated several sectors in the
urban area at project level. Both cities clearly showed how
integration beyond traditional borders between sectors and
active stakeholder involvement can lead to significant
additional benefits for urban inhabitants. Participants
learned from these implementation experiences and took home
clear guidance and next steps to be incorporated through
ongoing World Bank projects. |
