Case Study Features and Categorization (based on literature review criteria) Reducing Hazard Probability Reduce Exposure to Flooding

Vietnamese

Mekong Delta

The Dryline -living shoreline: big berm as a natural resilient mechanism

-breakwater: big bench and big berm with wave dampening geometry -local flood defence: stilt house

-multifunctional flood defence (MFD): big bench as elevation barrier integrated to the urban programme

-Integrated flood solution (IFP): deployable wall as active flood wall mechanism integrated with the urban programme

Reduce Sensitivity to Flooding

-dry proofing: an elevated makeshift bridge for accessibility during and after flooding

-wet proofing: harbour berm and big bench to be submerged (floodproof) in water as sea level rises

-community resilient: reverse aquarium through awareness programme on sea level raises

Cheonggyecheon River

Revitalisation

-living shoreline: resilient landscape and vegetation

-storm surge protection: stone step as a water speed regulator -land elevation: multi designated elevation based on Hurricane Sandy level 100-year FEMA guideline and splash allowance

-land elevation: 200-year flooding level

-on-site flood protection: underground discharge system -wet proofing: vertical terrace wall as dynamic space based on water level raises
