Abstract: New strategies and tools have to be developed to manage cities under uncertain future conditions due to climate change or rapid urbanisation. An emerging strategy is development of (flood) resilient cities introducing the multi layer system approach and giving priority to the non-structural – flood resilience measures, summarised in the 4As: assistance, alleviation, awareness and avoidance. The resilient built environment (RBE) as the key aspect of (flood) resilient cities-can be reached by providence of required expertise and building capacity of stakeholders to apply it. A strategy for achieving RBE by integrated application of the decision support system (FLORETO) and Interactive Learning Program (ILP) for capacity building of stakeholders, has been presented in this paper. The first results of application of FLORETO and ILP obtained at study areas in Hamburg, Germany are encouraging, indicating that such concepts should become a substantial part of the Flood Risk Management, contributing to development of resilient cities.
