Abstrakt: Flood mitigation measures delivered at the London 2012 Olympic Park have reduced flood risk to more than 4000 residential and commercial properties, improving the quality of life for thousands of east London residents. Additional benefits include water quality, habitat creation, biodiversity, recreation, leisure and education. This was achieved by adopting a collaborative approach across a team that included contractors, planners and key stakeholders. The result is a true and lasting legacy for London and a model for sustainable flood risk management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
