The combination of climate change and increasing flood risks poses new challenges and new conditions for spatial planning in both urban and rural areas. Concentrating on delta areas, this issue examines the effects of rising water levels (sea, lake and river) and discusses a broad range of adaptive measures available to mitigate these effects.
