“…The value case approach aims to leverage existing and potential connections, creating synergies among the different functions, spaces and actors related to the water system. In this way it is possible to account for different values surrounding water systems, reconcile conflicting ones and open the way to shared governance and collaboration among stakeholders (Sorensen 2015(Sorensen , 2017Jansen and Hein 2023). This framework has served as a foundation for the "value case approach" developed by a team from the UNESCO Chair Water, Ports and Historic Cities under the leadership of Carola Hein.…”

The concept of values has become increasingly important in many fields, including water management, heritage preservation and design. Politicians, economists, water managers, heritage specialists and designers often consider values as guiding principles for their interventions. While water management has traditionally focused on technological and economic values, in recent decades there has been growing recognition of the significance of socio-cultural aspects. This shift is evident in initiatives like the United Nation’s Valuing Water Initiative, which recognized five “Valuing Water Principles” as guidelines for incorporating the values associated with water in decision-making. However, how to define and implement these values in particular contexts has not yet been clearly established, with approaches varying across disciplines and fields. Understanding the complex interdependencies and values characterizing each water system can help develop a strategy for integrated management of water with the goal of sustainable development with a long-term perspective and a design focus.
