As part of the Water as Leverage programme, the team travelled to Singapore for the first regional workshop on 6-7 December 2018. This workshop enabled participating teams from all regions (Chennai, India; Khulna, Bangladesh; Semarang, Indonesia) to present their conceptual designs to the Water as Leverage advisory board (among which 100 Resilient Cities and Architecture Workroom Brussels) and potential financial partners, including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Dutch Development Bank (FMO), and the Green Climate Fund.
We're pleased to share that the advisory board has given the green light for our project, 'City of 1,000 Tanks', to proceed to the next phase, where their feedback, as well as input from the financial institutions, will be incorporated in to the further development and refinement of the designs.
