Abstract

Flooding is the most frequent and costly disaster threatening the sustainability of cities in Canada and also around the globe. Technical approaches alone are not effective in addressing the problem because flooding issues require discussions and agreements among stakeholders. This workshop will begin with a '5×5' speaker session: Five presenters speak for five minutes each offering a different viewpoint on the topic 'Water in our Cities'; together, they cover the following perspectives: Public, private, global, academic, and artistic. Attendees will then participate in the online Flood Resilience Challenge, an interactive 'serious game.' Serious gaming is an approach to learning about complex socio-environmental problems that creates safe spaces for stakeholders to interact and explore innovative ideas for addressing these problems and imagine unknown futures. The game involves role-playing, which offers an effective means of gaining insight into different perspectives, developing communication and conflict resolution skills, and facilitating collective decision-making.
