A FRAMEWORK TO CLOSE THE GAP ON WICKED URBAN STREAM RESTORATION PROBLEMS: INTEGRATING SCIENCE AND SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL VALUES
Restoring the health of urban streams has many of the characteristics of wicked problems. Diverse values and perspectives of academics, practitioners, managers, stakeholders, and community members complicate objective-setting across varying spatial and temporal scales, requiring negotiated trade-offs. We developed a framework to improve restoration of urban streams, using the guiding principle of first considering existing and potential values (particularly societal values) before setting objectives. This framework can guide urban stream management towards a more appropriate problem definition and solution space, encouraging adaptations that complement and enhance urbanization. A gap analysis of international case studies allowed us to assess how well objectives were established and met, and what was missing in the problem definition that limited their overall success. We applied this analysis to the current institutional framework to identify disconnections, underperformance issues, and missing processes. The analysis exposed the shortcomings of projects that seek to address wicked problems throughout urban streams. A more integrative exploration of the problem, using a ‘values-first’ approach is expected to lead to a more holistic solution space that considers stream function and social-ecological values through monitoring and adaptive management at appropriate temporal and spatial scales.
