Frederiksberg is a small affluent metropolitan municipality within the city of Copenhagen at risk of urban flooding. Because Frederiksberg is characterised as resourceful, socio-political stable and has a high-quality infrastructure, disaster management organisations working with flood risk management are challenged when defining, targeting and including ‘vulnerable groups’ within this small urban affluent area. This paper presents an analytical framework for understanding and assessing vulnerabilities in societies like Frederiksberg. The framework questions a static understanding of vulnerability, which is inextricably bound to wealth level and consequently, as a notion of less importance to affluent places like Frederiksberg. This has potential consequences for climate justice as a static approach is not able to capture the complexity of the affluence/vulnerability nexus. While we do acknowledge the strong connection between economic wealth and the ability of people to cope with risk, we argue that the relationship between vulnerability and affluence needs to be understood as contextual and dynamic. We present a critical analysis of the dynamic shape of vulnerability in urban affluent and digital societies and suggest a conceptual framework for making such an analysis in a welfare state setting.

腓特烈斯贝 (Frederiksberg) 是哥本哈根市内一个富裕的小城市，面临城市洪水的风险。由于 Frederiksberg 的特点是足智多谋、社会政治稳定并拥有高质量的基础设施，从事洪水风险管理的灾害管理组织在定义、定位和包括这个小型城市富裕地区的“弱势群体”时面临挑战。本文提出了一个分析框架，用于理解和评估像腓特烈斯贝这样的社会中的脆弱性。该框架质疑对脆弱性的静态理解，脆弱性与财富水平密不可分，因此，对于像腓特烈斯贝这样的富裕地区来说，这是一个不太重要的概念。这对气候正义有潜在的影响，因为静态方法无法捕捉富裕/脆弱性关系的复杂性。虽然我们确实承认经济财富与人们应对风险的能力之间存在密切联系，但我们认为脆弱性和富裕之间的关系需要根据背景和动态来理解。我们对城市富裕和数字社会中脆弱性的动态形态进行了批判性分析，并提出了在福利国家环境中进行此类分析的概念框架。
