Outlook: cost-eec@ve concepts and technologies for ood risk reduc@on in urban areas
Outlook: support of decision makers to determine how to upgrade ood defences and increase ood resilience of protected buildings and cri@cal infrastructure and to assess the expected risk reduc@on from these measures.
