3. Background and problem description Our client: WaterNet Tasks: Towards enhanced participation and sustainable building blocks Replace polder sewage system Enhance overall sustainability Obstacles Broader perspective Solution 1 2

4. Background and problem description Main tasks for us... 1) identify and overcome obstacles in participation 2) assess the possibilities and incentives for reducing stress on the sewage system and identify benefits of decoupling polder sewage system 3) assess the possibilities for increasing energy efficiency and installing renewable energy sources Towards enhanced participation and sustainable building blocks

5. Research question “To what extent can Waternet improve its engagement process with stakeholders as it seeks to better the current groundwater situation while at the same time, stimulate the transition towards a more sustainable state of the existing building blocks in the Linnaeusparkweg region of Watergraafsmeer?” Towards enhanced participation and sustainable building blocks

10. Sustainability case study Watergraafsmeer Research question Towards enhanced participation and sustainable building blocks Towards enhanced participation and sustainable building blocks Research questionPhase 1 Installing the participatory governance framework 1) Assessing the community profile to gain better understanding of participants 2) Evaluate the needed Governance model that should focus on; trust building, equal representation, inclusiveness and legitimacy 3) Build up a management and leadership formula to facilitate the process 4) Evaluate TM as a guiding framework for the transition of the blocks
