Delivering and evaluating multiple flood risk benefits

摘要管理城市洪水风险需要新的战略，这就需要对城市的管理、规划和发展方式进行根本性的改变。先前的研究已经确定了未来城市洪水风险管理的多种选择和措施，这些选择和措施与以水为中心的可持续社区的更一般目标保持一致。然而，目前尚不清楚这些选择和措施如何：(1)在实践中交付；(2)从效益和成本的角度对其进行全面评估。认识到这一点，这里提出的项目将开发新的方式来推动新的、有弹性的城市形态和结构，通过提供可持续地管理洪水事件的措施，同时改善城市生活；在新建筑下为激进的解决方案提供空间；以及实现通过翻新和城市更新来改善现有性能的可能性。

SummaryNew strategies for managing urban flood risk are required, necessitating radical changes in the ways cities are managed, planned and developed. Previous research has identified multiple options and measures for future urban flood risk management that align with more general targets for water centric, sustainable communities. However, it remains unclear how these options and measures can be:(1) delivered in practice, and; (2) comprehensively evaluated in terms of their benefits and costs. Recognising this, the project proposed here will develop novel ways of driving new, resilient urban forms and fabrics through delivering measures to manage flood events sustainably while enhancing urban life; providing scope for radical solutions under new build; and, realising possibilities for improving existing performance through retrofit and urban renewal.
