“…Adopt new land uses and diverse green space types or plant species through a variety of greening interventions, such as constructing green roofs, unsealing parking lots, enhancing vegetation in community parks, and planting street trees. It also emphasizes the critical role of sustainable drainage systems, such as pavements, rain gardens, and infiltration ditches, to withstand urban flooding [30,31]. The indicator of the proactive prevention given more weight should be referred to from pre-disaster monitoring and early warning, preparation of emergency plans, construction of emergency teams, and safety drills [32,33].…”

The likelihood and uncertainty of severe rains and flooding in the middle basin of the Yangtze River have grown due to global warming and growing urbanization. A flood risk assessment index system is built based on resilience theory to assess community flood risk in a significantly changing environment, with communities serving as the primary body to manage flood risk in cities. The flood risk level of communities in Wuhan from 2011 to 2020 was assessed using the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Dempster–Shafer (DS) evidence theory, utilizing an example of the typical Wuhan community. The findings indicate that: (1) The weight of hazard-causing factors is the largest and has the greatest influence on the risk of flooding in the community. (2) When looking at time series, the risk of hazard-causing factors gradually rises, while the risks associated with systemic governance, protective works, and community vulnerability steadily decline. Building resilient communities and enhancing flood risk management capability should be priorities for the government, local communities, and citizens.

“…It is true that many cities have been experimenting and testing countless site-specific or culturally specific solutions and strategies (from micro to macro scale), and these continue to be living local or case-specific examples of effective urban successful transition strategies. But how do we scale nature-based solutions upwards and outwards, from local contexts to city-wide contexts, in order to deliver on urban challenges such as climate impacts [26][27][28], biodiversity loss [29][30][31], and just transitions [16,19,[32][33][34]? Drawing on the body of knowledge generated by and with selected cities engaged in such experimentation, this paper synthesises the work of the Connecting Nature project.…”
