 A review of structural approach to flood management in coastal megacities of developing nations: current research and future directionsR.I. Ogie, C. Adam and P. Perez Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2020, vol. 63, issue 2, 127-147 Abstract: Flooding is a major environmental problem around the world. The problem is expected to worsen with climate change, particularly in coastal megacities of developing nations (CMDN), where vulnerability to extreme weather events is high and flood management capacity is weak. This systematic literature review focuses on structural approaches to flood management in CMDN as most of these cities rely heavily on them. The review covers the last two decades, being the period 1998–2018. Results reveal key areas of research, which are discussed within two broad categories of focus (1) establishment of new flood control projects and (2) management of existing flood control infrastructure. Several directions are suggested to guide future research efforts.Keywords: coastal; megacities; developing nations; flood management; structural measures Date: 2020 Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:taf:jenpmg:v:63:y:2020:i:2:p:127-147 Ordering information: This journal article can be ordered from DOI: 10.1080/09640568.2018.1547693 Access Statistics for this article Journal of Environmental Planning and Management is currently edited by Dr Neil Powe, Dr Ken Willis and George Bill Page More articles in Journal of Environmental Planning and Management from Taylor & Francis Journals |
