Abstract
Flooding is a highly dynamic phenomenon, and can occur due to several natural and anthropogenic causes, including flash floods, rising groundwater, gradual sea level rise, and coastal storm surges. With increased flood risk in urban areas, more and more studies suggest an integration of flood management and the concept of Smart City. This paper aims to discuss the connections between Smart Cities and flood management against extreme weather events potentially occurring in the future caused by the growing climate change. Flood prediction and warning are crucial for flood management, and their improvement could rely on the digital technological systems highlighted in many Smart City strategies. Moreover, the installation of technological equipment could benefit from flood maps that indicate high-risk flood zones in the short, medium, and long term.
