Cities, rain & risk

Today our large project on sustainable urban flood management (SuRF) is presented at a conference in Malmö. We learn about reasons for flooding and what we can do about it.

Jens Thoms Ivarsson from Gothenburg started out by stating that Gothenburg aims to be the best city in the world when it rains. He gave an inspiring speech about art and rain – a very good start for a conference like this. I look forward to present my research tomorrow. Then I will speak about two studies from my thesis and hopefully get feedback on my last study on rain and flooding.
