A recent study led by Malte von Szombathely at the University of Hamburg presents a citywide, high‑resolution assessment of urban flood risk. The research combines flood‑hazard mapping with analyses of exposure and social vulnerability to show how flooding could affect residents, property and everyday mobility. By integrating these factors, the framework provides a more detailed picture of potential consequences for people and their lives in flood‑prone areas.
