Yes / With the rapid urbanization of cities around the world, water security, flood control,
and urban hydro-environmental management have become important tasks to tackle. The
majority of large to megacities are located in delta regions surrounded by river networks,
due to their historical development. They are not only threatened by floods from upstream
river basins, but also endangered by the challenges of urban hydro-environmental
governance. Fast urbanization causes interference and fragmentation of the river
system and impedes its hydrodynamic potential, which is a primary driver of
flooding, pollution, and sediment deposition. Consequently, water security and
environmental problems are major issues for sustainable urban development.
The purpose of this Research Topic (RT) is to examine the latest advances and
developments in addressing the challenges in urban fluvial and freshwater systems as well
as to discuss the opportunities they create for improvement in modelling, management
practices and governance. This RT consists of twenty research articles from 99 authors
under three different research themes, which feature contributions on urban space
management, water pollution mitigation and urban watercourse behavioural sciences
to strengthen resilience. The RT includes the following themes:
• State-of-the-art numerical models,
• Urban environmental and hydrological advances, and
• Sustainable cities implementation.
