Abstract (EN): "This report has been developed in the context of the international co-operation project Aqua-Add (Deploying the added value of water in local and regional development), aiming at the sharing of knowledge and experience between project partners as to better deploy the potential of 'water' (economically, socially and environmentally) in urbanised landscapes and to improve the implementation of water measures in local and regional spatial development. Aqua-Add not only collects, analyses, disseminates and promotes the specific functions, services and values of green/blue spaces, but also develops and applies a Decision Support Tool (DST) that: i) demonstrates the (potential) social, environmental and economic impacts of different water management scenarios, and ii) facilitates the planning process and better informed decision making across stakeholders. The objective of this report is to present, not only, the theory and methodology underpinning, but also, the application of the Sustainable Urbanizing Landscape Development decision support tool (SULD; Roebeling et al., 2007). Case studies are presented for the two frontrunner Aqua Cases (Aveiro PT; Eindhoven NL), to assess the impact of location-specific green/blue space and socio-economic scenarios on the location of residential development, housing quantity, residential development density, population density, population composition, household living space and real estate values.
