This study investigates flooding vulnerability due to climate change in Vadodara's rapidly urbanizing wards. It constructs a vulnerability index using census data to identify areas needing attention. Reviewing development regulations aims to enhance resilience, particularly focusing on Vadodara's laws for flood mitigation. The adaptable methodology can be tailored for other regions. Identifying vulnerable populations and areas aids policymakers and planners in directing resources effectively. By pinpointing vulnerable zones, regulations can be adjusted to mitigate flooding impacts. This research fills gaps in understanding urban vulnerability to climate disasters, informing risk reduction strategies. Findings guide resource allocation for critical infrastructure like drainage and flood-resistant buildings, aiming to reduce flooding risks and enhance resilience. Ultimately, this holistic approach aims to tackle climate-induced challenges, fostering resilient and sustainable urban environments. Click here for FINAL REPORT.
