Introduction

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, with rising global temperatures, changing weather patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. These changes have significant implications for urban infrastructure, which is vital for the functioning of cities and the well-being of their inhabitants.

The effects of climate change on urban infrastructure are wide-ranging and complex. From the impact of sea-level rise on coastal cities to the increased risk of flooding and heatwaves in urban areas, climate change poses a significant threat to the resilience and sustainability of urban infrastructure. Understanding these effects is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.

This project will explore the effects of climate change on urban infrastructure, focusing on how changing environmental conditions are impacting the design, construction, and maintenance of urban infrastructure systems. By examining case studies from different cities around the world, this project will provide insights into the ways in which climate change is reshaping urban infrastructure and the challenges and opportunities it presents for urban planners, engineers, and policymakers.
