An integral approach to the relation of urbanism and water management in Dutch water cities and to adjustments necessary to upgrade water management systems to the requirements imposed by a changing amount or precipitation and by changing function, technology and scale of urban areas. Separate chapters deal with the transformation of the historical city, the consolidation of the inter-war city and the restructuring of the post-war city to meet future conditions. Comparisons of the Dutch situation with South Korean, Japanese and German urban areas is also included.
