Abstract
Urban flooding induced by climate change presents significant challenges to cities, particularly in regions like the Canadian Prairies. This essay explores the implications of climate change on urban flooding in Edmonton, Alberta, examining historical climate data, municipal ordinances, and biophysical factors. It addresses the need for sustainable urban design to mitigate flood risks, considering the impact of impervious surfaces, urban infrastructure, and natural landscapes on stormwater management. Furthermore, it discusses the economic, social, and health impacts of urban flooding, emphasizing the necessity of resilience strategies in adaptation and mitigation efforts. By integrating anthropogenic interventions with natural ecosystem functions, cities can enhance their resilience to climate change-induced flooding events. This analysis underscores the complexity of urban flooding dynamics and the importance of proactive measures to safeguard urban systems and communities in the face of climate change.
