The assessment of the impact of a potential flood risk intervention on spatial quality at the local scale is an essential element in the research-by-design methodology developed in this thesis (and demonstrated in the previous chapters).Examples of how to explore this impact of the potential flood risk intervention on spatial quality at the local s
