The document discusses managing urban flood risk through technical solutions like managed flooding systems and amphibious housing. It notes that flood safety has value for businesses, culture, identity, and politics. Managing flood risk requires balancing technical, practical, economic, cultural and political needs. The value of climate safety lies in recycling infrastructure, a sense of belonging, entrepreneurship, and flexible ownership. True management of flood risk engages citizens and encourages bottom-up solutions through co-creation and inspiring visions of a safe future.

33. ..a neverending story about
CITIZENSHIP and the FUTURE of the CITY
Urban life requires effort of citizens.
It is more effective and fun to provoke people and allow them
space and possibility for their own, small scale inititiatives.
Since people wish to invest in the future of their city, at a
individual level and together.
CO-CREATION IS THE MAGIC WORD!
Therefore open dialogue is necessary about flood risk
+
Inspirational & spectacular plans for flood probe
solutions.

34. ..a neverending story
and PEOPLE NEED STORIES THAT INSPIRE
.. To allow our neighborhood/ our shopping centre/ our
housing block.. a flood proof future , we will built
together to construct our own paradise !
We make everything practical however safe and
beautiful, we speak and talk together!
We share the sun wind and water that will supply for our
energy, we have gardens, local restaurants, playgrounds
and shops where talent development has a crucial role.
Because we built a tower that will reach the sky, a park
to wonder with a lake that will reflect the moon, we will
furnish streets and squares to be loved and we welcome
everyone who wants to take part…..
