When the rural is deliberately flooded to protect the urban
Bottom-up perspectives on “climate adaptation” from “vulnerable” coastal communities
The levee dilemma game
Could the magnitude of the 3/11 disaster have been reduced by ecological planning? A retrospective multi-hazard risk assessment through map overlay
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake triggered a series of catastrophes in Japan. The sheer magnitude of this compound disaster—known as the 3/11 disaster—raises a question whether it was simply unavoidable. However, this study demonstrates that the 3/11 disaster could have been significantly reduced by strategic ecological planning, if not avoided altogether. Using an environmental inventory developed by the Japan National Land Age…
Sustainable stormwater management
The socio-ecological practice of building blue-green infrastructure in high-density cities
The Displacement Risks and Impacts of Hong Kong’s Nonindigenous Villagers
Land resumption in Hong Kong, which involves involuntary displacement in contemporary development projects, deliberately targets nonindigenous villages, where many residents are landless farmers. In this article, we examine the risks and impacts associated with such displacement of the nonindigenous villagers through a grounded theory approach. Interviews were conducted with nonindigenous villagers who were either in a pre- or in a post-relocatio…
A Theory on Urban Resilience to Floods--A Basis for Alternative Planning Practices
River cities require a management approach based on resilience to floods rather than on resistance. Resisting floods by means of levees, dams, and channelization neglects inherent uncertainties arising from human-nature couplings and fails to address the extreme events that are expected to increase with climate change, and is thereby not a reliable approach to long-term flood safety. By applying resilience theory to address system persistence thr…
