Over the last decades the world has witnessed a growing number of
floods in urban areas. Climate change and rapid urbanisation will
exacerbate this trend. Flooding incidents in urbanised catchments
and low lying areas, such as polders, can lead to great public
concern and anxiety, whereas their economical impact is severe.
Apart from well-known flood prevention strategies, new approaches
to the accommodation of floods are needed to create robust and
sustainable solutions that enable us to cope with the
ever-increasing urban pressure on flood-prone areas and the
uncertainties created by climate change. Urban Flood Management
comprises a multidisciplinary survey of recent developments in this
field. Subjects like spatial and urban planning, flood insurance,
flood resilience, flood proofing techniques, risk perception and
preparedness, and flood forecasting are treated by authorities from
Brazil, India, The USA and Europe. Urban Flood Management will
provide anyone active in the fields of water, risk and urban
management with the latest information and insights that were
obtained with a global and multidisciplinary approach.
