Abstract

Jeremy Bricker and Mark Voorendt study physical and human aspects of complex flood defenses. They each highlight three cases from their home country and discuss the approaches at both sides of the atlantic: different views on juxtaposition of infrastructure and nature and on separation versus integration of the human component.
