needed:
-‐ from
stand
alone
to
embedded/integrated
-‐ from
climate
risk
reduc)on
to
resilience
upgrading
-‐ from

to
collabora)ve
decision

-‐ from
addi)onal
to
mainstream
But:
-‐
90%
of
the

insufficient

to

77%

5. Flood
Resilient
Building
Two
dimensions:
– It
is
a
technical
approach
–
requiring
Flood
Resilient
Technology
(FRe)
e.g.
building
design
and
construc)on,
flood
defences,
sustainable
approaches
to
drainage,
etc
– It
is
a
non-‐technical
approach
–
policy,
regula)on,
decision
making
and
engagement,
etc
Resilience
in
a
‘soM’
sense
can
only
be
developed
by
creaOng
the
condiOons
within
which
resilience
will
emerge
(Stephen
Garvin,

Flood
Resilient
building:
technical
approach
(defini)ons
(BRE,
2014))
– Flood
resilience
–
a
characteris)c
of
a
building
material,
component
or
whole
building
that
describes
its
ability
to
recover
from
flooding
– Flood
resistance
–
a
characteris)c
of
a
building
material,
component
or
whole
building
that
enables
it
to
remain
undamaged
and
unaffected
by
flood
water
Both
can
be
enhanced
by
deployment
of
“Flood
Resilient
Technology
(FRe)”

Technology:
need
for

Regulatory:
appe)te
for

Ins5tu5onal:
Over-‐reliance

Cultural:
Property
owners
and
communi)es
reluctant
to
take
responsibility
for

Economic:
Need

Poli5cal:
Fragmented

be
responsible).
Findings
uptake
Fre
in
EU
(SmarTest,
2014)
26. -‐ Uptake
of
FRe
is
low
in
EU,
poten)als
are
huge
-‐ From
dedicated
(special
purpose)
to
integrated
-‐ At
present
there
is
insufficient
capacity
(to
exploit
autonomous
development
for
adapta)on)
i
-‐ Need
for
private
partnership
and
new
business
models
-‐ Cultural
heritage
is
area
of
par)cular
concern
in
EU
(and
beyond)
(as
opportunis)c
adapta)on
will
be
of
limited
help)
