Resilient cities should be well integrated into their surrounding hinterlands through green and blue infrastructure (i.e. forests and other natural areas, rivers, lakes, parks, green roofs, etc.), providing people with the opportunity to reconnect with nature despite ongoing urban growth. This type of multi-functional approach linking flood risk reduction objectives with the protection of a city’s heritage and increased quality of life through the integration of the wider landscape is well exemplified by the restoration of the River Guadiana in the city of Mérida.
