T1 - Floating houses – an innovative idea for coastlines and river districts in times of global climate change T2 - Flood recovery, innovation and response IV, papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Flood Recovery, Innovation and Response (FRIAR) held in Poznan, Poland, 2014 N2 - The climate change is underway and the rising of oceans and the frequency of destroying floods have gone on already in a considerable way. The level and the waves of the oceans threaten the coastlines. Especially in river districts of many countries we have to note the worst cases of floods. On the other side mankind is growing more and more and the right of adequate housing and sufficient space too. In this situation floating houses and floating settlements relatively in coastal regions and flood plains could be the basis for a sustainable city in future worldwide.
