Welcome to the homepage of the FRC project. FRC stands for ‘FloodResilienCity’. It is an EU-funded project which enables responsible public authorities in eight cities in North West Europe to better cope with floods in urban areas. This will be done through a combination of transnational cooperation and regional investments.

Partners of the FRC project can learn from each others’ flood management and urban planning approaches, not only at the level of technological experts but even more importantly so at the level of the political decision makers and the general public.

FRC is one of the approved transnational projects in the SIC adapt! Cluster. SIC adapt! is a Strategic Initiative Cluster (SIC) of the INTERREG IV B North West Europe (NWE) Programme dealing with adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
Eight approved transnational projects
originating from seven Member States of the NWE Programme with around 100 partner organisations involved joining public authorities from all levels, scientific institutions, non profit and private organisations.








 
 
in the spotlight
 
In order to give more ‘room for the river’ and avoid future flooding, in the Dutch city of Nijmegen the dike at Lent along the river Waal will be replaced 350 meters land inwards, leaving an island in the middle of the river.
 
 
 
 
By providing more space for water around Dutch rivers, flood risks will be reduced. That’s what the program Room for the River is about.
