These changes in natural conditions are incorporated into city planning process. Currently, the program that was published in 2011 is being updated.Also, the city of Espoo produced a separate report that took in consideration the role of green areas in managing rainwater. In addition, Espoo has participated VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd's CLASS (2016-) and Stormfilter (2015-2017) research projects that focused climate adaptive surfaces, especially in regards to increasing rainfall.Rain storms will also be taken in to consideration in the upcoming climate change adaptation strategy of Espoo that will be produced as a part of SECAP.2790442017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[24.6559, 60.2055]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

This Plan, which was adopted by the Cleveland Planning Commission in 2016, prioritizes policies, programs and land use planning to help restore and protect our urban forest on both public and private lands. At the same time, the City has received $350,000 in the last few years to begin reforesting the city. In 2017, Mayor Jackson, on behalf of the 30+ member Cleveland Tree Coalition, announced a goal of 50,000 trees planted by 2020, and a 30% canopy by 2040 (current canopy coverage is 19%).3968152010{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-81.6944, 41.4993]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947

547201831108City of HoustonHoustonUnited States of AmericaNorth AmericaC40, CDP Cities, ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, WWFpublicFlash/surface floodResilience and resistance measures for buildingsPre-feasibility studyAfter the devastating flood damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, the City of Houston has resolved to leverage every opportunity to make the City more resilient to future flooding disasters. The City’s floodplain regulations are an important tool for reducing the flooding risk to lives and property in new development and redevelopment projects. With the goal of informing a review of those regulations, Houston Public Works (HPW) has prepared a report, based on extensive analysis of data collected both before and after the storm. Work on the report began in September 2017. The data clearly shows that current floodplain regulations – which require only structures in the 100-year floodplain be elevated one foot above the 100-year flood elevation – were inadequate to protect homes from flooding in Harvey. While 33 percent of all homes in the 500-year floodplain flooded during Harvey, an even higher percentage (38 percent) of all the currently compliant homes in the 100-year floodplain flooded. While a range of potential new Chapter 19 regulations was studied, a change requiring new structures in the 100- and 500-year floodplains to be elevated 2 feet above the 500-year flood elevation emerged as the optimum recommendation, based on predicted benefits as well as potential costs. Houston Public Works is coordinating with other groups within the City and local and regional stakeholders on a variety of flood risk reduction efforts.23499932016{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-95.3694, 29.7602]}2019-10-16T18:32:22.947
