What can we learn from Copenhagen’s Cloudburst Strategy?

With the rapid changing of climate, people are often looking for the best respond to defend their properties against flooding and improve their infrastructure at every level in between. Due to extensive urbanisation in the past two decades, we have disrupted our natural water cycle, contributing to intense flooding from the water environment. What I’ve found, however, is that our ageing infrastructure isn’t as robust as we think when faced with increasing weather extremes, and when the drainage systems are overwhelmed and flood waters erupt from the subterranean networks, the damage and consequences are severe. It is evident that Europeans are facing more extremes weather. Reports of river, coastal, groundwater and urban flooding across Denmark are increasingly in the news. Extreme rainfall events deluge cities and overwhelm the drainage systems, with subsequent economic consequences. <a href="https://yeungchakyan.medium.com/what-can-we-learn-from-copenhagens-cloudburst-strategy-40bc696c4ffa">Website</a>
