EN Long-term historical analysis of urbanization processes revealed radical changes in the proportions of built-up, natural and water areas in urban catchments. One of the effects of these changes is increased flood hazard. The article outlines the processes of degradation of blue-green structures in European cities and the ecohydrological consequences in river valleys. Different flood risk management strategies take into account the reduction of flood hazard, exposure and vulnerability to varying degrees. The author focuses on the strategy of “coexistence with water” and presents the principles of multifunctional management of floodplains and five basic types of buildings adapted to changing water levels.
