AB Over recent decades, the number of people and the capital invested in flood-proneareas has undergone a significant increase worldwide, particularly in coastal areas.There are several studies that show how the influence of socio-economic factorsover local planning authorities seems to be the main reason for exposure increase.This paper explores the causes and consequences of inefficient flood riskgovernance along the Spanish Mediterranean coastal municipalities. For thatpurpose, national and regional flood management policies were contrasted with theoutcomes of a spatial intersection between cadastral data at local level andfloodable areas, for different return periods (10, 50, 100 and 500 years). The resultsdemonstrate a significant growth in exposure due to inefficient spatial planning andflood reduction strategies.
