The upcoming Cities on the Frontline session titled “Urban Flood Resilience: Tackling Flood Risk and Inequality in Cities” will address the growing challenge of urban flooding, which disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. Urban expansion into flood-prone areas, combined with rapid population growth and climate change, exacerbates flood risks and their socio-economic impacts. The session will highlight the need for resilient infrastructure, focusing on protecting vulnerable populations and using innovative, data-driven flood management strategies, with case studies from Austria and Tanzania providing scalable solutions.
