Planning and Flooding

This book brings a level of clarity and understanding to the complex and emerging relationship between planning and flooding. This is an area that until recently has received only a minor level of research and guidance. Accordingly, the chapters cover aspects of planning and flooding at all spatial scales, including examining the evolving trans-national policy and governance context and the intricacies and responsibility of the forward planning and development control systems. The analysis then turns to investigating the potential solutions in detail and the present and future mechanisms and drivers that could assist in their implementation.
