4.4.1 Design Principles and Concept on Resiliency

Case Study Concept on Resiliency Concept and Principles Flooding Context

Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Adjustability – living with water lifestyle Monsoon river flooding with three different scales of flood

Policy Enforcement

Local knowledge and expertise as a vernacular lifestyle of the community

The Dryline Convertibility – tailored resilience for the community Coastal flooding with the vulnerability of storm surge such as Hurricane Sandy East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) and Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) by New York City Council and Federal Government of United States

Cheonggyecheon River Revitalisation

Convertibility – urban revitalisation as a flood defence mechanism River flooding due to the low-lying area of the stream vicinity Cheonggyecheon river restoration project by Seoul Municipality to boost economic and social development of downtown, including removal of highway

Expandability – allocation of urban space for flood discharge
