peer agreement (net): +1urban sanitation Explanation: Guesswork, apologies, but meant in a helpful way... Urban sanitation as in urban wastewater management, is my first thought. Wasserwirtschaft would usually be rendered "water management" (so "economics" might not come into it). Perhaps a clue: [PDF]Drucksache 14/ 9200 File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTML ... Wassermangel verursacht schon heute Konkurrenzkämpfe zwischen verschiedenen Wassernutzern (Landwirtschaft, Industrie und Siedlungswirtschaft). ... www.bundestag.de/gremien/welt/glob_end/7.pdf - Similar pages Web hits for various combinations of Siedlungswirtschaft, Siedlungswasserwirtschaft and Siedlungsabfallwirtschaft all appear to relate to waste-management aspects of urban development. On the other hand the term is used to mean something closer to "management of urban development" in this reference relating to urban planning: http://www.spd-norden.de/2001/mit-220501-5.htm "In vielen Städten und Gemeinden ist eine ökologisch-soziale und ökonomische Siedlungswirtschaft bereits verwirklicht“ [...] Die vorgestellten Projekte der niedersächsischen Städte und Gemeinden hätten alle den harten ökonomischen Praxistest bestanden und seien in Bezug auf die vielfach innovativen Ansätze und die hohe städtebaulichen Qualität als vorbildlich im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Siedlungsentwicklung zu bezeichnen. In vielen Städten und Gemeinden sei eine ökologisch-soziale und ökonomische Siedlungswirtschaft bereits verwirklicht" But thinking of your water context, I'm inclined to think it relates to sewage, sanitation, something like that in your case. Just my best guess. |
