Flood Risk Reduction in a Dynamic Urban Context: Exploring the Urban-Water-Resilience Nexus

In the context of dynamic environmental and demographic changes, one-directional, fragmented disaster management approaches are ineffective in delivering built-environment resilience across the temporal (from long-term to short term) and spatial (from macro to micro) scales. The proposed research aims to understand the urban-water-resilience nexus holistically as intersecting fields of urban planning, water management and disaster risk management, while emphasizing urban-water transformations over time and cross-scale interactions between urban form and disaster risk with particular reference to floods.
