ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Increase in torrential rainfalls is one of the negative effects of climate change that urban areas have to deal with. Becoming climate resilient includes mitigating to the risks that come with
growing chances of such intense rainfalls. Dealing with these risks can be done in various ways. First of all, institutional changes, such as raising awareness by the municipality and citizens is needed. Secondly,spatial implementations that contribute to the spatial quality, such as using softer pavement materials and water retention squares help to capture, store and drain excessive rainwater are needed. There are big differences in how different cities handle this problem. This study compares the policies of the city of Rotterdam and the city of Groningen to answer the research question: What lessons can Groningen learn from Rotterdam on
management of flood risks due to torrential rain, when integrating urban planning and water management?
