Exploring the role of inter-municipal cooperation for promoting water circular economy
This article analyses the role of inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) as a governance model in promoting water circular economy (WCE) and water reuse practices. Despite the potential benefits offered by IMC, little is known about how could contribute to fostering WCE adoption. The article develops and uses a framework to assess the role of IMC in advancing WCE strategies, addressing three key dimensions: involvement of IMC in advancing WCE, robust …
How can we adapt together? Assessing how legal frameworks address collaboration between the urban water sector and spatial planning
Climate change presents novel challenges for water management, both in the context of water excess and scarcity, and it is expected to afflict the world in the coming years. The necessity of strong collaboration between urban water management and spatial planning to facilitate adaptation to climate change has been underlined in the literature. Considering the potential of the legislative context to foster this collaboration, this article examines…
How can we adapt together? Exploring barriers, drivers, and tools for collaboration between water and urban experts
The burgeoning population and rapid urbanisation, combined with the impacts of climate change, pose new challenges for cities. Specifically, the way cities adapt to the impacts related to water encounters significant challenges that present threats to public safety and property. The city's adaptation to these transformative forces requires collaboration among diverse institutions, namely between water utilities and spatial planning authorities. T…
Institutional challenges in water reuse and circularity
The transition to the water circular economy (WCE) requires several stakeholders' awareness, articulation, and action involving complex governance concerns. As a participatory approach to identifying problems, designing solutions, and implementing strategic actions, the co-creation process should support stakeholder involvement to adjust existing institutional arrangements to foster the WCE. This article designs and applies a co-creation process …
Integrating climate change into environmental impact assessments of dams
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a valuable tool for preventing climate change impacts and improving the resilience of climate-sensitive projects, such as dams. Nevertheless, few published studies provide evidence-based insights on how climate change is addressed in actual EIA practice for dams. This article investigates the integration of climate change considerations in three EIA cases of dams and discusses what implications this integr…
An international comparison of the scope and instruments of local spatial planning
This article analyses (based on multidimensional criteria) land-use plans at a local level (using selected cities as examples) and their relationships to crucial planning issues identified at both national and local levels. The planning approaches of cities from the following countries were compared: Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Ghana, Iran, Mexico, Mongolia, Portugal and Poland. These countries are diverse in terms of their legal, …
What is spatial planning saying? A conceptual and methodological framework to assess the institutionalization of nature using critical discourse analysis
Spatial planning policies are fundamental blocks for the implementation of sustainable development goals. Still, despite the growing adoption of environmental proxies, as it is nature-based solutions, the study of their institutionalization in policy and spatial planning is in the early stages. Simultaneously, the use of discursive and interpretative methods to unfold the social structures related to environmental issues is growing, nonetheless, …
Institutional arrangements for water reuse
Water scarcity and security drive attention to water reuse in policy and business. However, water reuse may generate new water loops and challenge water governance with new and different types of water, risks, involved actors, and responsibilities. These challenges demand robust institutional arrangements related to water governance. This article assesses the institutional arrangements associated with four case studies in Spain, Italy, Croatia, a…
Traditional communities, territories and climate change in the literature – case studies and the role of law
Traditional communities are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially given the connection with nature and its territory. Despite this, traditional knowledge has been recognized as relevant to a better design of climate policies. This paper evaluates how the literature is studying the importance of law to protect traditional communities and respective territories and integrate their knowledge in climate change adaptation mech…
Addressing climate change in EIA legislation and the climate-proofing of dams
Dams are long-term structures still being developed despite the controversy around their relevance and associated impacts. Dams can impact climate change but also be vulnerable to climate change risks when not properly assessed before approval. As including climate change within EIA is said to thrive this assessment, legislation is being revised and support guidelines adopted, but the practice remains scarcely researched. This article analyses ho…
‘Literature review on the analysis of climate change risks in the environmental impact assessment of dams’
Climate change is a current concern in our society, with consequences increasingly felt worldwide. Alongside territories and communities, large infrastructures such as dams may be vulnerable to climate change and need to be resilient to related impacts. Consequently, their approval should require a comprehensive assessment of associated climate change risks. This concern is addressed by several international guidelines that suggest incorporating …
Assessing economic instruments to steer urban residential sprawl, using a hedonic pricing simulation modelling approach
Over the past centuries, cities have undergone major transformations that led to global urbanization. One of the phenomena emerging from urbanization is urban sprawl, defined as the uncontrolled spread of cities into undeveloped areas. The decrease in housing prices and commuting costs as well as the failure to internalize the real costs associated with natural land, led to households moving-out into the urban fringe – resulting in fragmented, lo…

Citizen complaints as a new source of information for local environmental governance
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to focus on the relevance of citizen complaints as a new source of information for local environmental governance. It represents an initial attempt to construct a fresh approach to the field. Design/methodology/approach - The paper comprises a brief literature review around the concept of environmental governance, the role played by institutions, and the challenges of local environmental governance; an empir…
Environmental complaints in Aveiro, Portugal
This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating…
Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal
This paper shows the main results of an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints regarding environmental matters submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. The paper is structured in five sections. The first one presents the developed study. The second section brings the conceptual approaches concerning environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movem…
