“…Climate change is likely to induce local extreme events and cause risks in many aspects of urban areas, especially for cities in developing countries that are experiencing a rapid urbanizing process alongside overdevelopment in climate impact-prone areas while lacking sufficient technical, financial, and institutional abilities to handle this issue (Hung and Chen 2013). Confronted with this challenge, it is vital for urban managers to understand both the current and future status of their urban form to adapt to climate stress, and accordingly review their urban land use model and planning.…”

“…A lot of investments have been made by the government agencies in the form of structural measures, mainly the earthen embankments, throughout the Brahmaputra River valley (Planning Commission, 2001-2013. These measures are dedicated to protecting the land and floodplain population from flooding or erosion.…”

“…Use of a geographic information system (GIS), microwave remote sensing and high-resolution satellite data to identify hazard prone areas and create vulnerability and risk maps has been an area of intense focus (Dewan et al, 2006(Dewan et al, , 2007a(Dewan et al, , 2007bJain et al, 2006;Ma et al, 2007;Sinha et al, 2008;Bizimana and Schilling, 2010;De Groeve, 2010;Ho et al, 2010;Kourgialas and Karatzas, 2011). However, transdisciplinary and more comprehensive approaches essential for vulnerability assessment have received relatively less attention (Hung and Ling, 2013, and references therein).…”

“…Despite the uncertainties with respect to the impacts of climate change in specific regions and locales, the most certain consequence of climate change is that sea-level will rise in the future [48][49][50]. The combination of sea-level rise and storm tides, therefore, will pose great flood risks to coastal cities where population and assets are densely distributed, especially to those cities in developing countries that are experiencing rapid urbanization and overdevelopment in flood-prone areas, while lacking sufficient technical skills and financial resources to deal with the issue [51]. Faced with this challenge, it is important that policy makers and coastal managers understand the complex risk mechanisms and assess their impacts.…”
