As urban areas have expanded, so too have the number of vulnerable assets, and efforts may now emphasise reducing construction in high-risk regions . The National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy for England, for example, calls for reductions in inappropriate developments in floodplains . Because climate change increases the flood risk profile of certain regions, reconsideration of design criteria has become more common . New York City now requires the sewer system currently designed for hydraulic capacity in 5-year design life should be designed for 50- year design life, taking into account climate changes over that period .
