One Water - Sustainable Local System Transition for Global Application

Important results from the project

The project has created the basis for increased efficiency in handling water-related issues with the division of responsibilities between different municipal administrations and private activities. A new municipal organization that will handle water issues has been established and will be linked to a transition arena where other actors are located. Several important networks have been mapped, including a supplier network for solutions within different parts of source-separated sewage systems

Expected long term effects

Mapped barriers have been used as a basis for decision-making within Helsingborg´s municipality, including the municipally owned companies that collaborate within RecoLab in Helsingborg, to make strategic work decisions to further develop the implementation of source-separated sewage systems within the Oceanhamnen and Östra Ramlösa development projects. Methods of collaborating across sectors can speed up individual projects, and in turn create a spillover effect in the longer term.

Approach and implementation

The project was implemented via 5 different work packages that were linked to the three levers. All work packages had a person responsible for implementation. Within the work packages, a number of activities were carried out that were aimed at different target groups and included different methods, including overall workshops for foresight and system mapping and more specific workshops with Brf:s, developers, urban planners in the municipality as well as suppliers and investors.
