Urban development and regeneration present windows of opportunity to help reduce flood vulnerability. Much recent research stresses the need for better integration of flood risk into planning processes. However, there is limited experience in incorporating flood risk management in urban planning. Demonstration projects can help in overcoming this lack of experience and facilitate a transition towards integrated flood risk management and spatial planning; taking longer term flexible and adaptive approaches. This paper demonstrates that the process of research, if collaborative, can contribute to the better integration of flood risk in urban planning. Collaborative research can support demonstration projects and their wider uptake, as well as policy development and subsequently a transition to integrated flood risk management. It also provides greater freedom to use different approaches, consider a broader range of …
