      • The teaching component of the NSL seeks to impart the knowledge and skills needed to develop the standard strengths of spatial planning and their interaction as well as the ability to develop strategies for the solution of spatial problems. These are central prerequisites for a responsible and successful exercise of planning functions in the service of the public commonwealth and of private companies. Especially important in fufilling these prerequisites is the quality of university-level education: graduate and post-graduate work as well as professional development in spatial, urban and landscape planning. The ETH Zurich has offered programmes such as continuing education courses and post-graduate programmes (NDS, now MAS) since 1965. The NSL (Network City and Landscape) is responsible for these courses and programmes.

Sustainable Funding Strategies for Stormwater Infrastructure Management: A System Dynamics Model

Yekenalem Abebe, Bryan T. Adey, Solomon Tesfamariam
2020

Most cities in Canada do not charge a stormwater fee; consequently, stormwater programs may need to compete with other funding priorities in public works. This often leads to a lack of dedicated and predictable cash flow, which can limit municipalities’ capacity to sustain stormwater services.

In such situations, it is useful to identify available revenue sources and expected expenditures, so that sustainable funding strategies can be determined. In this paper, we explore a novel system dynamics model to investigate sustainable funding strategies. The model consists of a qualitative assessment that uses causal loop diagrams to provide a conceptual system representation and a mathematical formulation for a quantitative assessment. The model is used to explore the potential of introducing stormwater fees in the city of Vernon, Canada. It is shown that the model is helpful in strategic asset management decision making, and can be used to build arguments for implementing proactive asset management programs.
