Slide 10: The need for integration
The need for integration ▪ Siloed responses won’t meet needs ▪ Shift from sectoral to ‘place-based’ ▪ Considering all interests and challenges facing an area ▪ Opportunities to deliver co-benefits, meet funding challenges ▪ Partnership with communities Essential if we are to make our coastal cities

Slide 28: Solutions to fit the space
Solutions to fit the space ▪ Differing challenges require differing solutions ▪ Hazards, uses, community Resilient Infrastructure All Hazards needs differ Local Flood Resilient Solutions Regional Solutions Communities Nature-based Solutions Adaptation 28 ©Jacobs 2020
Slide 29: All Hazards
All Hazards ▪ As well as multiple sources of flooding, coastal cities face other natural, and man- made, hazards ▪ Integration considers multiple sources, to deliver a consistent level of resilience Christchurch, NZ - “Is it worth protecting the city from flooding if another hazard will significantl
