document: Spatial adaptation in coastal environments: New possible synergies between flood protection infrastructure and urban landscape design
Iuorio, Luca (author)
The current flood risk-related challenges induced by climate change<br/>place pressure on designing urban areas where natural and man-made<br/>conditions can be imbalanced. Today, flood risk is mostly managed to<br/>reduce the probability of flood events. However, the engineered probability<br/>approach to flood risk management might not always...

document: Case Studies: Rotterdam and New York: Different strategies to community based adaptation to flood risk
van Veelen, P.C. (author)
Although storm at the North Sea produces moderate flood levels compared to the hurricane-impacted storm surge flood levels at the East Coast, Rotterdam and New York show comparable flood characteristics (see Figures at top next page). The majority of the urbanized waterfront areas in New York City and Rotterdam...

document: What would an integrated design of the Rotterdam roof park look like?
Voorendt, M.Z. (author)
Several alternative concepts could be developed that would integrate the structure of the Roof Park shopping complex with the flood defense. It is common practice in engineering to develop various concepts, keeping the project goal in mind. This is a creative process that should not be hampered by overly precise...

document: Governance and planning as boundary conditions for flood risk reduction in Texas: Galveston Island’s flood risk challenge
Brand, A.D. (author)
Galveston Island is a barrier island with a population of approximately 60,000, located between Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico on the Texas coast. Due to its location, Galveston is not only on the front line of hurricane-induced storm surges coming from the Gulf, it is also a key site for any flood defense aiming to protect the entire...

document: Case Study: Katwijk aan Zee
Voorendt, M.Z. (author)
Katwijk aan Zee is a Dutch town on the North Sea, near the original mouth of the Rhine. At the end of the twentieth century, part of the town of Katwijk appeared to be insufficiently protected against storm surges from sea (Figure 2). About 3000 inhabitants were in fact exposed to risks that were higher than what...

document: HOUSTON, we’ve got a problem: Introduction program case Houston Galveston Bay Region, Texas (USA)
Brand, A.D. (author), Kothuis, B.L.M. (author)
Various interesting tools were used and/or developed to stimulate knowledge integration in the Multifunctional Flood Defenses program. This chapter will present a diverse collection of these tools, hopefully stimulating others to consider using some of them in future.
