Future-Proofing Urban Resilience: Multi-Criteria Decision-Making and Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Stormwater Management

In response to the growing challenges posed by climate variability and urbanization, cities urgently require innovative, resilient, and sustainable stormwater management strategies. This Research Topic invites contributions that harness the power of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques to support adaptive, integrated, and cost-effective stormwater solutions. Emphasizing the use of green infrastructure, Low Impact Development (LID) practices, and advanced modeling tools (e.g., SWMM and other hydrologic-hydraulic platforms), we seek studies that optimize urban water systems through multi-objective approaches.We encourage interdisciplinary research that bridges engineering, environmental science, decision analysis, and socio-economic dimensions to shape the next generation of urban resilience. Topics may include (but are not limited to):-Application of hybrid MCDM frameworks for evaluating LID strategies-Scenario-based planning under climate and land-use change-Coupled modeling approaches integrating hydrologic tools with decision-support systems-Socio-technical and stakeholder-driven perspectives in urban water planning-Case studies demonstrating real-world implementation and impactBy fostering dialogue across disciplines and regions, this collection aims to inspire transformative pathways in stormwater management aligned with global sustainability goals.
