Study region: This study focuses on urban flood modelling in developing cities with a special focus on informal settlements giving a specific case study of Mukuru slums in Nairobi city of Kenya.
In our rapidly urbanizing world, many hazard-prone regions face significant challenges regarding risk-informed urban development.
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) highlights the importance of scientific research, supporting the ‘availability and application of science and technology to decision making’ in disaster risk reduction (DRR).
Numerous approaches to earthquake risk modelling and quantification have already been proposed in the literature and/or are well established in practice.
Understanding and modelling future risks from natural hazards is becoming increasingly crucial as the climate changes, human population grows, asset wealth accumulates, and societies become more urbanised and interconnected.
Being one of the top ten fastest urbanizing countries in the world with almost 60% urban areas, Nepal and mostly Kathmandu valley (KV), is undergoing rapid urban transition of spatial, demographic and econom
