Participatory flood modelling for negotiation and planning in urban informal settlements
Participatory modelling in water resource management–involving diverse actors in what is traditionally a purelyanalytical process–is thought to broaden stakeholder engagement and improve outcomes. Further research andcase studies are required to explore the practicalities of integrating meaningful participation within modellingprocesses in the water sector. Participatory modelling may be of particular interest within the context of urbaninformal areas, where the confluence of climate change, urbanisation and contested land requires new methods forengagement and planning. This paper develops new case-based knowledge to inform the application ofparticipatory modelling and planning for informal urban areas. Aflood-modelling project in the large informalneighbourhood of Kibera in central Nairobi, Kenya, is analysed using a newly established framework for theclassification of participatory modelling approaches developed by Basco-Carreraetal. in 2017. Conclusions suggestthat the further upstream more diverse stakeholders can be involved, the better the chance of co-producing newknowledge and of creating implementable plans and policies. At the same time, delivering‘co-design’of modellingprocesses in areas of limited co-operation requires a strong vision for participation, a tolerance for contention, awillingness to learn between actors and a budget to support additional time inputs. ; QC 20200917
