Accompanying the Aedes exhibition, the symposium focuses on the question of how architects and urban planners in the Asian-Pacific region are coping with water-related issues and offers insights into specific scenarios found in the urban areas, while also incorporating a larger perspective of the region as a whole, which faces a heterogeneous mix of water-related threats and issues ranging from flooding to shortages, including pollution and other challenges.
