    water Article Challenges of Water Sensitive Cities in Mexico: The Case of the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara Jose Arturo Gleason 1,* and Cesar Casiano Flores 2,3 1 Department of Techniques for Construction, University Centre for the Arts, Architecture and Design, University of Guadalajara, 44250 Guadalajara, Mexico 2 Public Governance Institute, Parkstraat 45—box 3609, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] 3 Insituto de Investigaciones en Medio Ambiente Xabier Gorostiaga S.J, Universidad Iberioamericana-Puebla, 72820 San Andres Cholula, Mexico * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +52-3313-3117-12 Abstract: Mexico is currently facing important water management challenges. Cities in the country are facing water scarcity and at the same time they struggle with floods during the raining season. The water sensitive urban design (WSUD) approach has proved to be helpful around the world in tackling urban water challenges such as floods or water scarcity. The WSUD approach highlights the role of both the water cycle and the water utilities systems, when transitioning towards a water sensitive stage. Therefore, the objective of this research is to demonstrate the relevance for cities of a WSUD approach by analyzing the current situation of the water cycle and the water utility in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara (MAG). This research proposes a case study approach. Within our case of study, we focused on the water cycle and the water utilities system (Sistema Intermunicipal de los Servicios de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado (SIAPA)) and ask two questions: (1) What are the causes of water scarcity and flooding in the MAG? and (2) What are the proposals to Citation: Gleason, J.A.; Casiano solve these problems under a WSUD approach? By answering these questions, we identified that Flores, C.
