The challenges
Skybrud over København

August 2010 Juli 2011 August 2011 August 2014
July 2011 – the city is vulnerable
•
150 mm rain in 2 hours
•
Damages close to 1 billion euro
•
Damages to critical infrastructure
A new infrastructure
Klimatilpasning – et løft til byens rum • Mere grønt • Bedre byrum når det ikke regner • Mere livskvalitet
Financing
• Shared financing – • Water taxes for water management • Tax money for urban spaces
Total costs: 1.3 billion euro
A good business case • Robust socio economic figures •Cheaper than traditional solutions •Less flooding – less damage •Lower insurance costs •Higher house prices •
Water taxes will go up with an average of 125 euro
7 water catchments in the city
Following the natural flow of water
Risk mapping
Different options for each catchment
11-11-2014
Types of solutions • Cloudburst boulevards – transporting water • Delaying boulevards – delaying water • Central delays – for storing water
Examples of solutions
• Vesterbro – a district with high flood risks • A low point in the city • No natural run off for the water
Example of solutions
• Skt Jørgens sø • Lowering the water level in the lake • A new park on the wider banks • Park can store up to 40.000 m3 of water in case of cloudburst • A pipe empties the lake – and also collects water from Vesterbro
Examples of solutions • Istedgade as delaying boulevard • Transporting and delaying the water moving to the lower areas of Vesterbro
Examples of solutions
• Cloudburst boulevar at HC Andersens Boulevard • Traffic important • Leads the water to the harbour
Implementing the plan • 300 projects • Project descriptions • Political process
11-11-2014
Implementing the cloudburst plan • Expected to last 20 years • Annual project packages • Focus on synergies with other urban projects • Prioritizing of projects
The main structure
All the projects
11-11-2014
Cooperation and co-creation HOFOR – Greater Copenhagen Utility • Close partnership in all aspects Citizens •Will be involved in all the projects. •Partnerships on private land • Organisations Other municipalities • Key as water does not respect administrative boundaries Local commitees and neighbourhood regeneration • Local anchoring – and local cooperation with local knowledge
Adaptation is a precondition in future urban planning
• It will influence how we plan and utilise urban spaces • It will influence the development and planning of recreative spaces • And we want to make sure that we control the water in the future urban planning – and that we can use water as a ressource • .
