| Résumé : | How can we integrate stormwater in the urban environment considering its dual role as a resource and a threat? Various paradigms such as the Sustainable City, the Resilient City or Hydropolis proposed different answers to this question. Among them, the Water Sensitive City (WsC) aims to protect and enhance the urbanity of our cities by integrating urban design and water management. This paper questions the novelty and applicability of the concept of WsC in achieving this goal in different environments. Considering the changes in perception of stormwater management through history, this paper focuses on the criteria for designing stormwater introduced by WsC: to perceive stormwater as a resource and as a threat while expressing the community’s values and aspirations through urban design tools. The evolution of different criteria in designing stormwater management practices, and the experience of two research by design (RbyD) workshops, in Ishinomaki (Jp.) and Rochefort (Fr.), revealed the role of urban design in water management practices by integrating and communicating WsC in different environments. |
