When cities flood after just a few hours of rain, the problem isn't only the clouds above us—it's the decisions we've made on the ground.
Urban flooding is no longer an exception. It has become a predictable outcome of disappearing lakes, encroached natural drains, clogged stormwater networks, excessive concretisation, and development that ignores how water naturally moves through a city.
Every flooded road, stranded vehicle, damaged home, and disrupted life is a reminder that resilience cannot be an afterthought.
As architects, planners, engineers, policymakers, and citizens, we need to stop treating water as a problem to be drained away and start designing cities that can absorb, store, and manage it.
The next monsoon is inevitable. Urban flooding doesn't have to be.
Let's build cities that work with nature, not against it.
