The FloodResilienCity regional projects are located in eight cities along rivers in North West Europe: Bradford (UK), Brussels (BE), Dublin (IR), Leuven (BE), Mainz (DE), Nijmegen (NL), Orléans (FR) and Paris (FR). Several regional/local measures and investments are planned in order to make these cities better and safer place to live and work.


 
 
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.
