BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 17. The issue of
coordinating risks, water resources management, and housing policy
remains a serious challenge worldwide, as these areas do not always
develop in a parallel manner, Eva Kerstholt, Regional Director at
WILO, said during the Business Assembly session titled "Private
Sector Leadership Across the Housing Value Chain: Delivering
Results Against the Odds," held within the framework of WUF13 in
Baku, Trend
reports.
Kerstholt recalled that there are exemplary countries, such as
Singapore. Since Singapore is a city-state with a small territory,
all systems are tightly interconnected, allowing for a more
coordinated approach to issues like housing construction, water
supply, and wastewater treatment.
"However, in countries with a large geographical territory, the
situation is completely different, and the challenges are far more
complex. Therefore, to be fair to everyone, I would like to note
that this process is not as simple for all countries as it is for
small states," she added.
