dc.description.abstractAlongside the emergence of the global warming problem, the discussion around the integration of flood risk management and urban planning started. The main challenge climate change will pose on society is the increase in extreme weather events such as floods and storms. Especially harbour cities face increased risk since the the most likely effects of climate change are the sea level rise in coastal cities and extreme events damaging the built infrastructure. By addressing flood risk management in an urban context, this thesis links climate change to one of the most important issues of the 21st century: Urbanisation. An important progress in the literature was the development of the concept of integration. For years, scholars have advocated the integration of flood management and urban planning as the key factor in developing of effective policies. The knowledge in this issue, however, remains scarce. In order to deal with this lack of knowledge, this thesis aims at acquiring a better understanding of the practices of integrating flood risk management and urban planning in harbour cities with regards to their European context in order to help in making recommendations for the improvement of future policy making.en_US
