In many parts of Europe, the risk of river flooding is expected to increase; in north-eastern Europe, the probability of floods is expected to fall. Further to climate exposure, the placement of many new urban areas and the accumulation of assets in low-lying areas close to rivers has intensified the sensitivity to river floods. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

The map shows the low-lying urban areas potentially threatened by river flooding in a one-in-a-century flood event, both for the current period and in the projected future. However, the map does not take into account eventual future changes in urban land-take, nor any adaptation measures like flood defences or flood retention that may lower the risk. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Urban area potentially affected by river flooding, period 1961-1990 [% of core city UMZ]", "title": "The share of city's urban area [%] potentially vulnerable to river floods, period 1961-1990.mxd", "tags": [ "River flooding", "cities", "urban", "climate change impact" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/thumbnail.png", "url": "", "extent": [ [ -61.037387999897, -20.9398844992673 ], [ 55.5020744999072, 69.6385679988658 ] ], "spatialReference": "WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere", "accessInformation": "© Service Copyright EEA Copenhagen", "licenseInfo": "" }
