This edited book highlights the innovative ways in which a wide range of public and private stakeholders are collaborating and partnering in an endeavour to co-develop solutions that aim to improve the resilience of communities to flooding.

Despite increased investments in flood risk management, government efforts in mitigating flood disasters remain under severe pressure and community support is fundamental in encouraging and upscaling local resilience strategies. At the core of this book is a demonstration of how countries are leveraging options in partnerships towards mobilising resources for both community and government efforts in enhancing flood resilience at the local, regional and national level, and before, during and after flood events. Insights from the positive impact of partnerships are shared and lessons are evaluated for adaptation into a global understanding of resilience enhancing frameworks for country specific use and guidance.

The chapters seek to cut across people, industry, the built environment and the natural environment in highlighting how challenges in partnerships are dealt through effective communication, legal and coordination practices, knowledge production, monitoring and evaluation, social incentives and green financing and funding. This book offers policy makers, government officials, and researchers in environmental and civil engineering, geography and the built environment a deeper understanding of how partnerships can be leveraged as an alternative management approach for mitigating flood hazards.
