• Prioritize the issues in Jakarta (floods, scarcity of suitable land for business development, settlement)

• Flooding from rainfall, aggravated by land subsidence as a consequence of excessive deep groundwater extraction

• Pollution of rivers, retention ponds and micro-drainage

Case New Orleans

Issues

• Water is exclude form most public spaces

• Develop a more resilient and dynamic water management system, to obviate the regularly overwhelming water deposit.

• Water imbalance compromises infrastructure

• Approach water as asset instead of burden for civil and economic reasons.

Feedback of the Caseholders

• Be clear what will be learned on the workshops

• Good Ideas by Combining Multi-Disciplinary

• Focus on the problems that are not solve or not working out

• Focus on dialogue from the design and governance

• The workshop should provoke :

• Discussion and arguments• Expand the perspectives from a narrow point, • Active workshop that people interact

Next step

• Verified the templates with Case Holders

• Review the abstracts and can we incorporated in the workshop

• Design the Activities for the Workshops
