The Water CityInnovations for flood proof eco-cities
Trends
Trends and traditional approach lead to deltas
that are
bull Increasingly urbanized
bull Increasingly under sea level
bull Increasingly dependent on large scale globalizing
networks of energy water and food supply
bull Increasingly vulnerable to floods and droughts
Graaf RE de FHM van de Ven and NC van de Giesen (2007) The Closed City as a strategy to reduce vulnerability of urban areas for
climate change Water Science and Technology Vol 56 No 4 pp 165-173 IWA Publishing London
Why change
Possible responses towards environmental variation to
reduce vulnerability
bull Reduce environmental variation Build a threshold
example
bull Reduce damage if threshold is exceeded Develop
ability to cope with impacts
bull Recover quickly and effectively after damage
Develop ability to recover
bull If future variation is uncertain Develop ability to
adapt
The concept of vulnerability

The concept of vulnerability
bull Vulnerability of a system is difficult to assess
because components of vulnerability are strongly
interrelated
bull Example Increased flood defense leads to
increased urbanization and a decreased flood
risk perception
Predicting future water cities is it possible
laquoThere is no reason anyone would want a
computer in their homeraquo

business mainframe computers arguing against the PC in 1977
