Future challenges – socio-economic change
Population growth up to 2040, can go in various directions from there
DP-RD, 2011

Future challenges
Socio-economic change and climate change will put extra pressure on the urban area. Many consequences:
Increasing flood hazard (river/sea/rain)
Increasing flood exposure
Increased heat stress
Possible deterioration of living environment
Demand for ways to cope with these issues.
Issues linked in many cases:
Development of unembanked areas should be sustainable in terms of flood risk and living environment.
Smart measures can have double edged effects

TURAS Work
Two themes
Adaptation to flood risks (task 4.2)
Urban planning (task 4.3)
Flood risk track has started a little earlier, so some work has already been done there
11
Planning
Adaptation to flood risks Evaluate costs and benefits of various types of measures
In unembanked areas For local flooding from regional water system Similar exercise in New York
ODPM, Scotland, 2004
Aerts et al., in review
12
Planning
Adaptation to flood risks Improve flood risk assessments, special focus on:
Industrial/port areas Indirect effects: business interruption and supply-chain
disruption Criticial infrastructure (e.g. energy/water supply)

Planning
Urban planning –> adapt to climate change by optimizing green/blue space and related urban ecosystem services

Urban planning –> adapt to climate change by optimizing green/blue space and related urban ecosystem services
15
Planning
Urban planning Determine the spatial distribution of supply and demand for a range of
urban ES, including: Recreation Aesthetics of the living environment Local climate regulation Water provision
16
Planning
Urban planning Quantify social and monetary values attached to ES
Evaluate alternative scenarios of sustainable city development in terms of possibilities to supply the demand for ES
E.g. Large green spaces around the city versus inner-city green spaces
