title: Stakeholder engagement in flood resilience practices in Greater Manchester: Three local flood initiatives examined
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Responding to an increase in flood risk and as part of a transition in flood management, Greater Manchester is shifting toward flood resilience and stakeholder engagement, however both concepts are ambiguous. The main research question guiding this research: How is stakeholder engagement understood, perceived and operationalised in flood resilience projects in Greater Manchester? To gain insights into flood resilience projects, three projects within Greater Manchester were selected to serve as case studies for analysis: Salford second basin, Howard Street SuDS and the RESIN project. The research followed a mixed-method approach within which semi-structured interviews and documents were positioned against scholarly debate. Results reveal that flood resilience is defined and operationalised in different ways in theory and practice. Results show that stakeholder engagement is operationalised and perceived positively, however level varies. Results highlight community groups, integration, self-organisation and maintenance, as important factors which aid stakeholder engagement and flood resilience.
