Spatial-economic scenarios to increase resilience to urban flooding.

ABSTRACT: Due to accelerating climate change and the need for new development to accommodate population growth, adaptation of urban drainage systems has become a pressing issue in cities. Questions arise whether decentralised urban drainage systems are a better alternative to centralised systems, and whether Nature Based Solutions' (NBS) multifunctionality also brings economic benefits. This research aims to develop spatio-economic scenarios to support cities in increasing their resilience to urban flooding with NBS. The novelty of our work lies in the automated routines to assess the potential for decentralised NBS within the existing urban catchment. The identification of locations and dimensioning is based on open, publicly available geospatial data. Moreover, a block-based decentralization poten
