As cities develop, close attention needs to be paid to infrastructure development, including clean water supply, concluded a recently published study by NYU Shanghai Assistant Professor of Urban Science and Policy Guan Chenghe and NYU Shanghai - ECNU Joint Graduate Training Program (N.E.T.) PhD student Cheng Tong, published in Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science. The paper, " Evaluating the impact of water protection policy on urban growth: A case study of Jiaxing," looks at the relationship between urban development and impact on water resources, including wetlands, rivers, and reservoirs for standard drinking water.
Guan said that there are lessons that can be taken from the study. "We are applying this method from other fields into water policy intervention to tackle this kind of urban issue," he said. "This can definitely be translated for other cities and towns that have water issues."
