More about the book
Focusing on innovative flood governance, this book introduces "spatial measures" as an alternative to traditional structural defenses. By altering the spatial layout of flood-prone areas and limiting development, it emphasizes reducing exposure to flood risks rather than solely providing protection. This approach allows for circumvention of costly structural investments while addressing vulnerabilities. As climate change and urbanization heighten flood risks globally, spatial measures are increasingly recognized as an effective response strategy.
