We are only gradually beginning to understand the importance of complex systems, and are starting to learn how to deal with them. We see this particularly clearly with water and greenery, in the city and urban space. 
Using water as an example, the lecture attempts to make relevant connections methodically visible and tangible through experiments, in order to initiate a learning process for change.  

Learning by observation emphasizes the significance of understanding natural systems through careful, firsthand experiences. Water, a dynamic element in both natural and urban environments, serves as a powerful teacher. Observing its flow, behaviour, and interaction with landscapes provides crucial insights into flow patterns, biodiversity, and ecological balance.

Through observation, we can grasp the quality of water's role in shaping ecosystems and guiding planning and design. This method fosters a deeper connection to nature, encouraging innovative solutions to water-related challenges, such as stormwater management, wetland conservation, and climate resilience.

A learning process that goes deeper than just using fashionable buzzwords and involves planners, investors, political decision-makers and the entire population. Many concrete international examples cited in the lecture show how these framework conditions are crucial for good living systems design and regenerative solutions.
