Abstract
Urban planning is significantly challenged by climate change, which calls for a paradigm shift in the way cities are planned and managed. Urban regions are more vulnerable to catastrophic weather events, rising sea levels, and resource scarcity as global temperatures rise. Resilient infrastructure, such as structures resistant to flooding, improved drainage systems, and green roofs, must be incorporated into urban plans in order to lessen the effects of disasters. Involving the community is essential to building resilience and guarantees that disaster response plans are appropriate for the situation and take into account the specific requirements of various communities. In addition to giving citizens more authority, this participative method fortifies social networks, which are essential in times of crisis. Planning strategies must prioritise resilience in order to provide safe, flexible, and sustainable urban environments for future generations as urban populations continue to rise. This abstract underscores the necessity for an interdisciplinary approach combining urban design and environmental sustainability in order to ensure that urban areas are well equipped to cope with the evolving nature of disaster threats and are therefore safe and secure to reside.
Disasters triggered by natural hazards, such as storms, flooding, and landslides, are becoming increasingly severe and frequent in Southeast Asia, driven by rapid urbanisation and the growing impacts of climate change. The challenge of managing urban disasters, particularly floods, is further complicated by demographic...

Contemporary cities face increasingly interconnected environmental, social, health, and geopolitical crises, requiring closer integration between long-term urban development and emergency preparedness. This study examines how spatial planning can support civil protection and strengthen urban and community resilience, u...
A growing body of literature shows that cities are key actors in mitigation and adaptation to climate change. However, there is less knowledge about the approaches and challenges urban planners face in building resilience. Existing studies often focus on specific planning tools in selected cities, while limited attenti...

The floods that struck the Valencian region (Spain) in October 2024 illustrate how climate change is intensifying extreme weather events in Mediterranean flood-prone areas, challenging regional economic resilience. This disaster, which resulted in numerous fatalities and extensive infrastructure damage, disrupted suppl...

Urban flooding poses significant challenges to public safety, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic development, particularly in rapidly urbanizing cities in the Philippines, such as Calamba City. Effective prioritization of flood risk management strategies is therefore critical to support evidence-based urb...

Climate change, uncontrolled land use, and environmental degradation have increased the frequency and severity of natural disasters, with a particular impact on rural Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) systems in countries like India. Floods, cyclones, droughts, and earthquakes frequently disrupt water supplies, des...
