Urban flooding is an increasingly pressing challenge confronting cities worldwide. As urbanization accelerates and climate change intensifies, the frequency and severity of flooding events are on the rise, posing significant threats to lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure. In the face of this growing crisis, the imperative for effective and sustainable solutions has never been more urgent.This book, "Nature Based Solutions to Prevent Urban Flooding," authored by Shashikant Nishant Sharma and Dauda Ayuba, emerges as a timely and comprehensive resource offering insights, strategies, and practical approaches to mitigate urban flooding through nature-based interventions.The concept of nature-based solutions (NBS) harnesses the inherent resilience and adaptability of natural systems to address complex urban challenges. By integrating green infrastructure, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land management practices, NBS offer a multifaceted approach to urban flood management that not only reduces flood risk but also enhances ecosystem services, improves urban livability, and fosters climate resilience.Drawing upon a wealth of interdisciplinary knowledge and practical experience, Sharma and Ayuba delve into the theoretical foundations, case studies, and best practices surrounding NBS implementation in urban environments. From the revitalization of urban wetlands and creation of green corridors to the promotion of permeable pavements and rainwater harvesting systems, this book explores a diverse array of NBS approaches tailored to specific urban contexts.Moreover, the authors highlight the economic, social, and environmental co-benefits associated with NBS adoption, underscoring the value proposition for policymakers, urban planners, engineers, and community stakeholders alike. Through a nuanced analysis of policy frameworks, governance mechanisms, and stakeholder engagement strategies, they elucidate the pathways toward mainstreaming NBS into urban planning and decision-making processes.As we stand at a critical juncture in our collective response to urban flooding, this book serves as a beacon of hope and guidance, illuminating pathways toward a more resilient and sustainable urban future. It is our fervent hope that the insights presented herein will inspire action, catalyze innovation, and empower communities to embrace nature-based solutions as integral components of their urban resilience strategies.Book Title: Nature Based Solutions to Prevent Urban FloodingAuthors Name: Shashikant Nishant Sharma & Dauda AyubaISBN: 978-93-92585-34-0Imprint: EduPubPublication Year: 2024

Los relatos que conforman Anatomía del desastre -aunque dispares e, incluso algunos de ellos, disparatados- están unidos por la incisión, por la descarnadura que supone habitar el presente: el entorno que nos codifica, el momento histórico que nos penetra y nuestro ser interior consciente e inconsciente (personal, colectivo y cósmico). Una disección literaria que divide en partes a los personajes con el fin de examinar su estructura y sus alteraciones. Aunque en el libro abunden las historias escritas desde la autoficción, la metaliteratura esté muy presente e, incluso, aparezcan personas reconocibles, los relatos de Anatomía del desastre pretenden alcanzar el más allá de un sentido común, desde el humor, la reflexión, lo onírico, la ironía, lo poético y el prosaísmo de la actualidad.

A rational mind said, "Profit is the reward for risk taken." When you are so far down the rabbit hole, you can give up hope and lose, or you can double down the stakes and at least hope to come out victorious.
