1. 1. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Andreas Brandow; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

   Abstract : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.
