Sort of. With urban areas growing more and more houses are put up close to water, so when flooding occurs the damages are greater. What might just have been a meadow 50 years ago, which wouldn't really have been hurt by 2 feet of water for a few days might now be a whole row of houses instead.

Discuss how flooding problems are getting worse with increased development?

Flooding problems are getting worse with increased developement because our lands are very low. As erosion increases, our land diminishes little by little. Over thousands of years the tide has risen and the land has lowered, causing an increase in floods, especially in the coastal regions of the world.
