This article analyzes the recent changes in urban rainwater management practices by analyzing the work of urban rainwater professionals. As a result of climate change, cities are experiencing more frequent and heavier rainfall events. The article shows how professional work on new infrastructures for managing urban climate rain contributes to the transformation of organizational practices. The article shows how a professional group within the engineering profession – climate adaptation engineers – reconceptualize how rain in cities is valued from a risk into a resource. By reconceptualizing urban rain, climate adaptation engineers contribute to the transformation of organizational practices in the emerging field of climate adaptation. Empirically, the article analyses interviews, documents, and fieldnotes from three urban rainwater management projects in Denmark which all deal with excess rainwater resulting from climate change.

从以雨为风险到以雨为资源:城市雨水管理的专业和组织变革

本文通过分析城市雨水专业人员的工作,分析了城市雨水管理实践的最新变化。由于气候变化,城市正经历着更频繁和更大的降雨事件。本文显示了在管理城市气候降雨的新基础架构方面的专业工作如何促进组织实践的转变。本文说明了工程专业领域的一个专业团队(气候适应工程师)如何重新构思城市雨水如何从风险转化为资源的价值。通过重新定义城市雨水,气候适应工程师为新兴的气候适应领域的组织实践做出了贡献。从经验上讲,本文分析了丹麦三个城市雨水管理项目的访谈,文件和现场记录,这些项目均处理了由于气候变化而产生的过量雨水。
