Flood Impact on Urban Transport Networks Considering the Flooding Propagation

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Urban flooding significantly impacts transport networks and the mobility of people and associated air quality. This paper introduces a new dynamic framework to quantify and analyse the indirect economic and environmental impacts of flooding on transport networks from multiple perspectives, including time delay, fuel consumption, and pollutant emissions.

Progress of Urban Flood Research and Overall Handling of Urban Flood in China

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Under the background of the climatic changes and the rapid urban development, the occurring frequency of urban floods grows increasingly, the influencing areas gradually spread, and the disaster losses become increasingly severe. The handling of urban flood has already become an issue requiring quick and effective solution during human social ...

Secondary benefits of urban flood protection

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
The combined effects of urbanization and climate change put a large portion of the population at risk from pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flooding. To continue to strive for sustainable development, cities will need to protect flood-prone areas, but this will require significant investments in both green and grey infrastructure solutions.

Opportunities for crowdsourcing in urban flood monitoring

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2021
Abstract Flooding is the most common natural hazard, leading to property damage, injuries, and death. Despite the potential for major consequences, urban flooding remains difficult to forecast, largely due to a lack of data availability at fine spatial scales and associated predictive capabilities.

Assessment of climate change impacts and urban flood management schemes in central Shanghai

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2021
Increasing urbanization combined with climate change has resulted in the increased risk of flooding in cities. Thus, assessing the effect of future climate change on urban flooding and adopting effective flood management measures is becoming increasingly
