Abstract

Mozambique is frequently affected by floods, leading to significant economic losses and social impacts. A mixed-methods approach combining field surveys with existing data analysis. The preliminary findings suggest that incorporating green spaces into urban planning can reduce surface water runoff by 20% during peak rainfall events. Designing resilient infrastructure requires a comprehensive understanding of local hydrological conditions and community needs. Implement pilot projects in selected areas to validate the design before full-scale deployment. climate-resilient, flood management, Mozambique, green spaces The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
