Long-term Climate Modeling Implications for Coastal Urban Infrastructure Resilience

Assessing the vulnerability of coastal cities to projected sea-level rise and increased storm frequency over the next century. This study utilizes high-resolution hydrodynamic models integrated with socioeconomic data to propose adaptive infrastructure strategies that prioritize both economic viability and ecological sustainability.

We present case studies of three major coastal metropolitan areas and provide detailed cost-benefit analyses for various adaptation strategies including nature-based solutions, engineered defenses, and managed retreat scenarios. Our findings indicate that integrated planning across multiple timescales is essential for long-term urban resilience.
