Extreme Rainstorm Disasters and Nature-based Solutions

This direction clarifies the formation mechanisms of rainstorm-induced disasters in coastal cities. It aims to create an intelligent urban flooding early-warning platform and establish an integrated “Green-Grey-Blue” infrastructure mitigation system, transforming flood management from passive response to active regulation through mechanism-technology-engineering innovations.
