The FloodResilienCity project will ultimately result in better solutions, more awareness and increased capacity in flood management in the cities Bradford, Brussels, Dublin, Leuven, Mainz, Nijmegen, Orléans and Paris. The project will activate a structural change in the mindset of the politicians, professionals and public in these partner cities. That change concerns a recognition of the importance to address all 4-‘A’s (Awareness, Avoidance, Alleviation and Assistance) in their sustainable flood risk management policies.




















The main output of the FRC project is an intense cooperation between 11 partners in 8 cities in North West Europe. The regional investments deliver tangible results in each partner city. The transnational actions will prepare the ground to implement the FloodResilienCity strategy in plans and policies of each partner city.


 
 
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.
