One of the effects of global climate change is the increasing
variability of extreme flood events and cyclones. Current measures
to mitigate flood impacts, particularly in the urban environment,
are based on previously-planned flood risk intervals and no longer
provide sufficient protection. Being prepared for unexpected
changes and extreme flood events asks for a paradigm shift in
current strategies to avoid and manage flood disasters. In order to
stem the increasing impact of urban floods, a major rethink of
current planning and flood management policies and practice is
required, taking into account different spatial and temporal
scales. This book addresses a broad spectrum of relevant issues in
the emerging field of urban flood management. It may act as a
stimulus for further research and development in urban flood
management while informing and engaging stakeholders in the
promotion of integrated and cooperative approaches in water
management. An interdisciplinary approach which will be of interest
to all those who are active in water, risk and urban management.
