Developers are becoming increasingly interested in designing structures that are properly suited for their environments. Structures that are not designed this way are prone to damage from catastrophic environmental events such as flooding. According to the Alberta Provincial Flood Damage Assessment Study (https://www.alberta.ca/albertacode/images/pfdas-alberta-main.pdf), damage from flooding in Alberta has cost billions of dollars over the last decade. Without proper mitigation, cities must repeatedly repair and rebuild structures in flood areas at great expense.
