Five thematic work packages, each with detailed action programmes have been defined in line with the project aim and the 4-A approach:
All partners are working together to deliver all of the actions. Each WP includes one action to compare the current practices in the involved cities and to facilitate the exchange of best practices between them with the aim to improve the cities’ initiatives on that objective. WP 5 integrates the other work packages, and ultimately prepares the ground for each partner city to implement the FRC strategy in their plans and policies.

At the end of the project each city will produce a statement which will clearly define the changes in policy that they will adopt as a result of the FloodResilienCity cooperation.

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.
