The unprecedented growth of cities has a significant impact on
future flood risk that might exceed the impacts of climate change
in many metropolitan areas across the world. Although the effects
of urbanisation on flood risk are well understood, assessments that
include spatially explicit future growth projections are limited.
This comparative study provides insight in the long term
development of future riverine and pluvial flood risk for 18 fast
growing megacities. The outcomes provide not only a baseline absent
in current practise, but also a strategic outlook that might better
establish the role of urban planning in limiting future flood risk.
