Summary

With much of the world’s population already concentrated into cities, many of which are in low-lying coastal areas or near to rivers, and urbanisation continuing apace, adaptation to climate change is of significant concern to urban planning and managing flooding from both sea inundation and rain storms is a particularly salient and pressing problem. This review aims to discuss some of the key models available today with regards to these two issues.
