1. 21. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

   Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

3. 22. FLOOD RESILIENCE 2.0 - Sustainable Urban Design Adaptation for Flood Resilience in Hamburg, Germany

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Shenol Shahin Ahmed; [2023]
   Keywords : Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : This thesis project is aimed to answer the questions: What could be done to design areas for making them flood resilient? How can sustainable urban design be adapted to provide flood resilience while transforming an area into a more livable space? Starting with these questions, the past of Hamburg and existing situation have been analyzed, a research has been done about the floods, climate change and how other cities develop their strategies to minimize effects of these issues. With a holistic way, information about the site in Hamburg has been gathered to find out the current problems like connection issues, lack of public realm, non-attractive river front and outdated flood defenses.
