The amount of loss resulting from these events is also increasing exponentially, particularly in highly urbanised urban areas, where the effects of intensive land use and climate change are particularly extreme-all despite that our scientific knowledge, technical competence, and computational capacity to develop highly sophisticated and accurate forecasting and simulation models are higher than ever, as is our capacity to map and analyse flood-related data. In order to tackle this global issue, it is fundamental to keep on promoting and developing fundamental and applied research that allows the better targeting of interventions to improve resilience, reduce vulnerability, and enhance recovery as well as assisting decision-makers in delivering more effective flood risk-reduction policies. This book aims to contribute to this goal by providing a space in which to share and discuss recent studies and state-of- the-art methodologies focused on the assessment and mitigation of flood risk in urban areas. It includes nine high-quality chapters authored by eminent scholars who had the tremendous generosity to join me in this editorial project. The range of topics covered by these nine studies is extraordinarily vast, reflecting the complexity of the current challenges associated with the topic. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $a2D modeling 610 $a3Di 610 $aanalytic hierarchy process (AHP) 610 $abehavioral design 610 $abuilt-up growth prediction 610 $aCan Tho City 610 $aclimate change 610 $aevacuation modelling 610 $aflood 610 $aflood damage 610 $aflood evacuation 610 $aflood extent mapping 610 $aflood hazard 610 $aflood mitigation 610 $aflood risk assessment 610 $aflood risk susceptibility 610 $aFRS-GWR modeling 610 $aGoogle Earth engine 610 $agraph analysis 610 $aHEC-RAS 610 $aHistoric City Centre of Guimara?es 610 $ahuman motion in floodwaters 610 $aindirect impacts 610 $aintegrated operation 610 $aland use 610 $aLight Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) 610 $aloss assessment 610 $aMexico City 610 $an/a 610 $apluvial flood 610 $aremote sensing 610 $arevised resilience index 610 $arisk assessment 610 $arisk management 610 $arisk map 610 $asupport vector machine regression (SVR) 610 $aThailand 610 $auncertainty 610 $aurban and peri-urban area 610 $aurban built environment at risk 610 $aurban disaster 610 $aurban drainage facility 610 $aurban flood 610 $aurban flood risk 610 $aurban stream 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aFerreira$b Tiago Miguel$4edt$01295535 702 $aFerreira$b Tiago Miguel$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557403503321 996 $aRecent Advances in the Assessment of Flood Risk in Urban Areas$93023590 997 $aUNINA
