Our ongoing commitment to building water‑resilient, inclusive, and swimmable cities continues, we are proud to stand beside the Swimmable Cities for the Swimmable Cities European Forum.
We’re looking forward to joining urban leaders, water experts, policymakers, designers, and youth advocates from across Europe to explore how cities can reconnect with their rivers, lakes, and coastlines. The Forum will dive into four key innovation streams shaping the future of urban water:
- Urban Strategy – designing cities where water is central to public life
- Water Safety – ensuring clean, accessible, and safe swimming environments
- Waterfront Investment – unlocking partnerships and financing for blue spaces
- Sponge Cities – building climate‑adaptive, permeable urban landscapes
Hosted in Basel the Forum also includes the official Rhine Swim, a celebration of clean water and vibrant river culture.
For Wavemakers United, this Forum is another step in our shared mission: empowering youth, strengthening collaboration, and accelerating the transition toward cities where water is not just a resource, but a heart.
We’re excited to contribute, connect, and help shape the next wave of swimmable, climate‑resilient cities across Europe!
