This Proof-of-Concept study is based on the current work of Dr Claudia Rojas Bernal (Universidad del Norte, Colombia), Prof. Daniel Medeiros de Freitas (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil) and Dr  Krzysztof Nawratek (UoS) and the ongoing discussion between the members of the Research Team on the similarities and challenges of water-related issues in Barranquilla and Belo Horizonte. The project aims to build a coherent narrative on synergies between worldviews and water-related urban practices in these two South American cities.
