DAnCE 4 Water is a model (concept) that

integrates both the social and the biophysical
aspects of city and water infrastructure
development as they evolve over time
Aarhus, 21 – 23 , January 2014
 University of Innsbruck
Unit of Environmental Engineering

What is it?
A computational tool to support strategic planning
processes

Who and What is it for?

Help strategists, planners and decisions makers to
understand the implications of possible infrastructure
solutions through testing different scenarios

Why is it different?
Takes a dynamics approach; and integrates urban land
development and societal change patterns with changes in
the urban water infrastructure system
