Walkability and Flood Resilience: Public Space Design in Climate‐Sensitive Urban Environments

Urban Planning, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 10

In the contemporary urban landscape, walkability is shaped by spatial characteristics of built environment and its ability to adapt environmental risks, particularly those posed climate change. This study explores intersection flood adaptation strategies in waterfront public spaces across nine cities Baltic Sea Region, analysing their morphological with a focus on connectivity, accessibility, adaptability. Using mixed‐method approach that integrates mapping, quantitative metrics, qualitative analysis, comparative case studies, this research evaluates effectiveness structure transformations introduction blue‐green infrastructure, floating structures, nature‐based solutions enhancing while mitigating risks. The findings reveal significant improvements as indicated extended pedestrian route networks (increases 6%–28%), enhanced link–node ratios 24%–39%), substantial rise number nodes direct water access (150%–1900%). These results demonstrate climate‐adaptive design not only strengthens resilience but also fosters vibrant, walkable, socially inclusive spaces. provides valuable insights for planners, architects, policymakers, proposing integrate into walkable environments. By emphasising synergy between adaptation, advances discourse sustainable planning. highlight potential adaptable waterfronts, incorporating infrastructure flexible principles, enhance maintaining space quality accessibility.
