More than 4% of the total world's population currently resides in coastal mega-cities, particularly those in East Asia which have expanded rapidly and are heavily stressed from flood and other climate challenges. This seminar will introduce the cases and challenges of Hong Kong, Ningbo and other coastal cities that have undergone significant physical and socio-economic transformations, over emphasis on socio-economic development, and mostly under-estimation of flood risk and climate change adaptation.
