Coastline of dublin bay and sandymount
Integration of shoreline flood protection with surrounding communities

Flooding in Ireland's capital city of Dublin has been a recurring problem for many years, with some areas of the city flooding during heavy rainfall or high tides. And some sources suggest that the coastal areas of Dublin are at risk of being flooded in 2050. It is therefore essential and urgent to address the issue of flooding.

Dublin Bay and Sandymount is on the east coast of Dublin. This is a protected area with many valuable plants and animals, and the ecology of the area is of vital importance. Along the coastline there are also a number of historic buildings. There are many residential areas and offices along the coastline. All of these need to be protected.

The main causes of flooding in Dublin include inadequate drainage systems, lack of high strength flood defences made of hard materials, and climate change. Integrating shoreline flood prevention with the surrounding community is an important step towards a resilient and sustainable coastal city. This thesis book outlines the key considerations and strategies for integrating shoreline flood protection with the surrounding community.

The concept behind this book is to create a link that integrates flood defences with the surrounding community, thereby enhancing people's interaction with the coastline in the context of effective flood protection. The Concept facilitates the connection of the local community to the coastline. The flood protection has been created in different types of design to meet a variety of needs depending on the site conditions and topography. The design follows the concept of sustainable development to ensure that Dublin remains a safe and resilient city in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing urbanisation.
