FROM USE TO DESIGN

Local Resident Uses

It has been proven that the flood prevention strategy with the culture of risk, as it is used at present, does not seem to work at best, despite the attempts of the State and the municipalities (1) .

To avoid a misunderstanding of the resilience mechanisms and the resistance of local residents, the problem can be reversed and the uses of said local residents can be made resilient.

The combinations of devices used on the previous page and the uses in the face of flooding help us to define a strategy.

Thus, uses can design the space to be more resilient.
