El agua y las ciudades son una preocupación obligada en nuestros tiempos. A medida que las ciudades crecen, demandan más recursos, energía y agua. México es un país predominantemente urbano con dinámicas económicas diversas, pero, en todas ellas, la gestión del agua representa un gran desafío ambiental, económico y social. Esta obra colectiva es una reflexión de investigadores, profesores y egresados del Centro de Estudios Demográficos, Urbanos y Ambientales de El Colegio de México que aborda diversas facetas de la problemática hídrica urbana. Es producto de un diálogo multidisciplinario sobre la complejidad de este fenómeno, que busca aportar orientaciones para superar la crisis hídrica desde el punto de vista teórico-conceptual y de la gestión. En la obra se tratan temas urgentes y de actualidad, como la seguridad hídrica, el derecho humano al agua, la compleja administración y gobernanza de los sistemas de agua urbana, sus nexos con las dinámicas económica y demográfica en México, las demandas de agua, sus aspectos económicos o los servicios ambientales que nos proporcionan los ríos urbanos.
