As climate extremes intensify, cities face a defining challenge: how can we transform escalating flood risks into opportunities for smarter, greener, and more resilient urban development?

This interactive workshop explores how nature-based solutions, innovative water engineering and emerging digital technologies can reshape urban resilience. Moving beyond conventional drainage infrastructure, we examine integrated approaches combining green roofs, blue-green infrastructure, sustainable urban drainage systems, and data-driven flood management.

Drawing on real-world engineering applications and research, participants will discover how cities can simultaneously reduce flood risks, mitigate urban heat, enhance biodiversity, and improve water security.

Through practical examples and collaborative discussion, the workshop will challenge conventional thinking and equip participants with actionable strategies to turn climate vulnerability into long-term urban resilience.
