“…This results in a nature-based solution that not only preserves the natural ecosystem value but also lessens the flood risk (Green et al, 2021). As a result, green infrastructure is considered a multi-objective and comprehensive planning method that encompasses different types of urban green areas at various scales (Hansen and Pauleit, 2014;Artmann et al, 2019), including micro, macro and meso levels (Mabaso et al, 2021). In essence green infrastructure remains a public asset that provides environmental, community, and economic benefits to city dwellers (Tackett, 2009;Cilliers and Cilliers, 2016;Cilliers, 2019;Newman et al, 2019).…”

IntroductionClimate change and the fast pace of urbanization are two major factors contributing to the exacerbated risk of flooding in urban areas. Flood resilience strategies, underpinned by the principles of green infrastructure, are gaining importance as within broader spatial planning approaches, and various global cities are adopting revised policies and frameworks to improve flood risk management. Yet, such responsive approaches are still limited and context-specific.MethodsIn this article, thematic analysis using NVivo was employed to analyse 49 documents related to flood risk management, resilience, and green infrastructure planning.ResultsThis paper reflects on the concepts of flood risk management, flood resilience and green infrastructure planning to identify the synergies between these concepts, and identify challenges that are prohibiting global flood resilience.DiscussionEnhancing flood resilience requires coordinated efforts, effective communication, and collaborative governance among stakeholders. The paper also draws planning recommendations for advancing flood resilience through governance and an integrated planning approach, in support of the global goals toward flood resilience.
