HZ UAS participates with both research groups Resilient Deltas and Building with Nature the Interreg 2 Seas project Sustainable and Resilient Coastal Cities ({{Cite|resource=Resource Hyperlink 00557|name=SARCC|dialog=process-linkwebsite-dialog}}). One of the aims of research group Resilient with Deltas is to conduct a Mindscape Evaluation of flood prone cities along the North Sea and the Channel. With this evalaution we aim to create an appropiate understanding of stakeholders' perceptions past, present and future meaning of the coast line and flood risks. Understanding mindscapes is important for the particpatory process in the design and impelmentation phase. Mindscapes will be capatured in narratives supported by maps.
Urban areas situated along the coastline of the North Sea and the Channel are particularly vulnerable to extreme sea level rise (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges). Coastal flood plans and policies focus predominantly on deploying traditional grey infrastructure/heavy engineering and ignore the use of nature-based solutions (NBS), despite the overwhelming evidence of their potential to reduce flood risk and provide multiple benefits. NBS are often not considered by policy-makers in detail due to the perceived risks around costs, potential for success, requirements for immediate protection/improvement and uncertainties regarding future change. A clear knowledge gap exists across coastal cities to deploy NBS as a means to reduce future coastal flood risk and economic damage.
