Abstract
AbstractUnderlining more knowledge about the potential effects that climate change can have on cities, the work addresses resilient urbanism as the main tool for strengthening the urban environment, more specifically, against the consequences of flooding, as this is one of the risks that causes most losses in Europe. Furthermore, this document provides studies that allow us to analyze the most recommendable strategies to successfully address the issue despite the obvious challenge involved and to assess the importance of nature-based solutions, questioning the use of only structural systems. According to the research carried out, the main types, causes, legislation and elements that drive and/or diminish flooding in cities have been exposed, with reference parameters and three case studies (Alicante, Vitoria and Zaragoza) for the evaluation of which indicators are crucial to choose the best solutions in different situations for the implementation of control measures, adaptation and mitigation of flood disasters.KeywordsUrbanismResilienceFloods
