Abstract

This article examines rainwater management strategies for enhancing urban flood resilience, focusing on rising flood risks due to urbanization and the need for effective responses. It critiques traditional management limitations and proposes a comprehensive framework integrating green infrastructure with resilience theory. Strategies are explored across four key dimensions: infrastructure, institutions, economy, and society, with multi-level measures like source control, process control, economic support, and community engagement. Using domestic and international case studies, the article demonstrates these strategies' practical effectiveness, aiming to improve cities' resistance, recovery, and adaptability to flooding and waterlogging.
