Innovative Approaches to Urban Resilience: Addressing Flood Risks and Climate Adaptation

Convenors: Gensheng Zhao and Ana Margarida Bento

This session highlights innovative strategies that link flood risk management, climate adaptation and urban resilience. It focuses on integrating digital twin systems with advanced tools such as remote sensing, satellite imagery, drones and machine learning for accurate flood mapping and early warning. We seek contributions that focus on multidisciplinary approaches, including 1D, 2D, and 3D modelling, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), LiDAR, GIS, and IoT sensor networks. Submitted works should offer practical solutions for addressing the challenges of rising sea levels, extreme rainfall, and climate change impacts to improve urban water management. Join us in promoting sustainable, resilient strategies for managing future urban flooding.
