Recent Advances in Flood Risk Analysis and Management Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Under the dual backdrop of global climate change and fast urbanization, many cities across the world are struggling with urban flooding problems. Urban flooding hazards are threatening livelihoods, infrastructure, and the ecosystem. Therefore, it has become a matter of urgency to investigate urban flooding hazards from divergent perspectives, including causes, hydrological and hydrodynamic processes, risk analysis and management, and other social aspects.

This Special Issue collects original research and literature review articles on the state of the art and recent advances in urban flooding hazards. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Analysis of the causes of urban flooding;
• Hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling of urban flood processes;
• Forecasting and early warning of urban flooding;
• Risk assessment, mitigation, and management of urban flooding;
• Flood-resilient cities and other aspects.
