description: In recent years, coastal populations experience an increasing risk of flood disasters due to climate change (Bouma et al., 2013).  Concepts as Building with nature are of increasing interest, since these concepts regard cost-effective coastal protection and incorporation of ecology and ecosystem services into coastal protection (Markus-Michalczyk et al., 2016). Building with nature in the city is a project of Ecoshape, Deltares and Witteveen+bos that focuses on Building with Nature measures in the urban environment (Ecoshape, 2018). There are two primary aims of this study: to investigate if these measures are applicable in Groningen and contribute to the water safety in a cost-effective way and to ascertain what is the contribution of these measures to the spatial quality in the case of Groningen. The central research question thus is as follows: How can Building with Nature in the city contribute to the water safety and spatial quality in Groningen?
