Copenhagen Cloudburst Plan

Leonardsen, Lykke

This case study will demonstrate how it is possible, through planning, to alleviate impacts from increased risk of flooding due to climate change, following heavy rain called cloudbursts. It is possible to also create opportunities that can be of use in other situations, in this case a pandemic. The Cloudburst Management Plan of Copenhagen will be analyzed on how this can be used to create a more equal and liveable city, especially during pandemic times.
