Final seminar SODA

The Vinnova-funded SODA project, Collaboration for sustainable stormwater and heavy rainfall management in development districts, is led by RISE and aims to strengthen cities' resilience to heavy rainfall and drought through better stormwater management. Since development districts accounts for around 70% of urban areas, there is great potential for action here. The project focuses on collaboration between actors, the development of technical solutions, education, and new models for financing and responsibility. The goal is to increase the number of sustainable stormwater solutions in both new and existing buildings.
