THE first part of this article said that the link between climate change and urban flooding is a complex issue facing many cities worldwide. Climate change exacerbates urban flooding through various interconnected factors:Increased temperature and heat waves. Cities tend to be hotter and drier due to human activities and infrastructure, known as the urban heat island effect.

Climate change further intensifies these vulnerabilities by increasing the frequency and severity of flooding events.By understanding and addressing these factors, cities can better prepare for and mitigate the impact of urban flooding caused by climate change.
