The Australian Water Association and the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney are delighted to invite you to this seminar with Professor Harald Hiessl.
Professor Harald Hiessl is an international leader in innovation and sustainability in urban water infrastructure systems. He is visiting Australia as a UTS Distinguished Visiting Scholar.
Professor Hiessl will share his insights and practical experiences in making water sensitive Cities of the Future real at a seminar and panel discussion hosted by the Institute. He will be joined by Alan Gregory, CSIRO's Research Theme Leader for Urban Water and Cynthia Mitchell, Professor of Sustainability at ISF, to discuss adapting to climate and demographic change whilst modernizing water infrastructure systems and managing the water-energy nexus, amongst other challenges and opportunities. Our goal with this event is to enliven the current conversation in Sydney’s water sector about Cities of the Future by providing an opportunity for both industry and other interested academics to engage with Harald Hiessl’s work, and to make connections with leading work locally.
