More about the book
Focusing on innovative flood governance, the book introduces "spatial measures" as a proactive approach to managing flood risks. Unlike traditional safety measures that rely on structural defenses, spatial measures aim to minimize exposure by altering the layout of flood-prone areas. This includes restricting development and enhancing building resilience in vulnerable zones, ultimately reducing reliance on costly structural solutions. As climate change and urbanization escalate flood risks globally, these strategies are becoming increasingly appealing for effective flood risk management.
