Abstract
Climate change is a serious global issue causing more extreme weather patterns, resulting in more frequent and severe events like urban flooding. This review explores the connection between climate change and urban flooding, offering statistical, scientific, and advanced perspectives. Analyses of precipitation patterns show clear changes, establishing a strong link between climate change and the heightened intensity of global rainfall events. Hydrological modeling and case studies provide compelling scientific evidence attributing urban flooding to climate-induced changes. Urban infrastructure, including transportation networks and critical facilities, is increasingly vulnerable, worsening the impact on…
