Get Smart in an Hour: Svendborg Harbour and the Future of Water

Svendborg is already facing rising challenges from storm surge, heavier rainfall, and more frequent cloudbursts - and the harbour is one of the municipality's most vulnerable areas. The municipality is therefore working on a long-term strategy to protect the harbour while maintaining the connection between the city, cultural heritage, and water.

The event explores why the harbour is particularly vulnerable to climate change, how the city can be protected against future high water, and what so-called "blue zones" mean - areas where water is integrated as part of urban life. The discussion also covers how climate adaptation can work together with urban development, cultural environments, and waterfront activities.

You will get concrete insights into plans for Frederiksø, Nordre Kaj, Østre Kaj, and Havnepladsen, as well as the vision of a harbour that both protects the city and opens new possibilities by the water.
