In this podcast, we take a closer look at flooding in Flanders. What exactly is changing? And more importantly: how can we deal with it more effectively? Our expert explains why traditional solutions are increasingly falling short.

Heavy rainstorms, often referred to as cloudbursts, are becoming more frequent across our regions. Short, intense downpours are putting our systems under pressure.

But the issue isn’t just the weather. Our built environment plays a role too.

More hard surfaces mean less infiltration. Water runs off faster, enters the sewer system all at once and leads to overload.

So ask yourself: is our environment still designed for today’s climate?

Water doesn’t stop at municipal boundaries. Yet solutions are still too often fragmented.

Real impact requires collaboration between authorities, designers and local stakeholders.

How do you get everyone moving in the same direction?
And where do things still go wrong today?
