Government adaptations such as dikes or beach nourishments are important, yet insufficient in the face of worsening hazards. They reduce the hazard probability, but the local actions at the household level determine the extent of damages and inequalities in its distributional impacts on various societal groups. To design effective policies and risk reduction strategies it is critical to quantify the speed and scope of the household adaptation uptake and the resulting damage prevention. This is especially the case for distributional impacts (i.e., how different societal household groups adapt), which are often neglected. Quantifying both aggregate and distributional impacts of household climate change adaptation (CCA) on flood risk fosters the design of tailored flood risk management policies which allocate resources to the societal groups that need them most. This thesis presents a state-of-the-art agent-based flood model in downtown Shanghai, China to understand the role of household CCA in reducing coastal flood risk both in its aggregate and distributional impacts. To model the households’ exposure to climate-induced floods we overlayed the geolocations of 18.039 residential buildings with 21 inundation maps that depict dike failures and dike overtopping under different climate-change scenarios. We further parameterized households using context-specific micro-level survey data from Shanghai and depicted households’ adaptation decisions using an extended version of the Protection Motivation Theory. Our results show that autonomous household adaptation (adaptation without government policy) to climate change plays an essential role in reducing flood damage in downtown Shanghai. However, despite the considerable adaptation uptake, the residual damages increase over time due to the effects of sea level rise and land subsidence. This shows that autonomous household adaptation alone is insufficient to keep pace with the increasing severity of climate-related flooding, as it is constrained by barriers in the form of adaptation measure costs and regulations. Thus, additional policies are needed to overcome these barriers. These policies should take into account differences in adaptation behaviour and damage prevention among societal household groups. Specifically, our results indicate that households with lower worry, self-efficacy, and income adapt measurably slower to climate-induced floods, which makes these household groups significantly more vulnerable to flooding.","Flood; Household adaptation; Agent-based model; Behaviour; Protection Motivation Theory; Shanghai","en","master thesis","","","","","","Link to the flood-ABM code: https://github.com/jlechn01/Shanghai-Flood-ABM The updated thesis PDF document includes a minor change in the acknowledgements (European Research Council project SCALAR).","","","","","","Complex Systems Engineering and Management (CoSEM)","","31.23040, 121.47370"

(TU Delft Urban Development Management)","","2022","Chinese cities have experienced rapid urbanisation and attracted massive investment in the central city through urban redevelopment. Developing less favourable urban areas such as former industrial sites along the waterfront is less attractive for investment as these areas usually need to deal with poor environments and complicated land ownership. It is therefore important to understand how these urban projects are carried out and what financial instruments are used. This paper examines four waterfront redevelopment projects in Shanghai in the last three decades and asks how they got financed. The financial mechanism in the examined cases confirmed that land-based capital accumulation is central in the financialisation of these projects, with the important role of the state-owned development companies in each project to mobilise capital and carry out development. The paper also finds that the variety of innovative financial instruments like bonds, public-private partnership or the urban regeneration fund are explored to tap capital from domestic and international investors. These financial instruments are complementary to the land-based finance which facilitates urban redevelopment in less attractive waterfront areas, allowing new financial players to explore the potential for the waterfront.","Chinese context; Financialisation; Public and private sector; Shanghai; Waterfront redevelopment","en","journal article","","","","","","","","","","","Urban Development Management","","",""

(graduation committee); Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution)","2020","Shanghai sea dikes are built to protect shorelines, factories, inland buildings and other vulnerable coastal areas against wave action and storm surge. For this reason, there is an urgent need to check whether sea dike in Shanghai can function well. The intuitive influences are sea level rise, severe storm surge, and land subsidence, which affect sea dike functions. Sea dikes should withstand many failure mechanisms, and the objective of this research is to investigate failure probability for the 3 most important failure mechanisms of a specific sea dike in Shanghai Pudong under present and future climate conditions, which are overtopping, revetment failure and macro instability. The applied rates for absolute sea level rise in this research are 2.5 mm/yr from 2011 to 2030 and 5.0 mm/yr from 2031 to 2100 respectively. Therefore, sea level rise in 2100 is 375mm from 2019. Land subsidence rate in Shanghai is estimated at 6 mm/year after 2010, so the subsidence value is 486 mm till 2100 from 2019. Based on previous research, 38 severe typhoon events from 1990s are chosen as reference events to study severe wave conditions in Shanghai. For Shanghai, a severe typhoon event means the maximum average wind speed near the center of bottom layer is larger than 41.5 m/s, and it lasts more than 24 hours in the area near Shanghai (25° N-35° N and 115° E-125° E). These events are simulated with the software package Delft3D, which is an important tool for modeling of severe wave conditions under current and future circumstances. Characteristics of wind and pressure fields for typhoons are important inputs for Delft3D to model wave characteristics. As a result, from a Delft3D a simulated record of water level, peak period and significant wave height during a typhoon event is obtained, and the maximum overtopping discharge and maximum significant wave height during a storm event can then be analysed. For future Shanghai boundary condition study, sea level rise and land subsidence value are considered directly in Delft3D. Boundary conditions around a sea dike are an important role when investigating the dike failure probability. Both in current and future conditions, uncertainty in maximum overtopping discharge can be described with Weibull distribution, maximum significant wave height can be described with a lognormal distribution. The predicted distributions are tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test. Based on fitted maximum overtopping discharge and maximum significant wave height, their probability density function is applied to calculate failure probability of overtopping and revetment failure. Failure is considered to be the probability that the overtopping discharge exceeds the critical value, which is defined mathematically by the limit state function. For overtopping and revetment failure mechanism, a probabilistic analysis called Monte Carlo simulation is used. Random samples of parameters are generated and are used with the limit state function to determine whether failure would occur. Fragility curves are constructed for each mechanism. A simplified method, called FOSM (first order second moment), is used to study the relative changes of macro instability between now and in the future. Although not all failure mechanisms for the Pudong sea dike are taken into account, this study proves that the lower bound of Shanghai sea dike failure probability is 0.31 per year in the condition of severe storm events in the year 2100. However, under current conditions, the lower bound of failure probability of Pudong sea dike is 0.23 per year. In terms of these three main failure mechanisms, revetment and overtopping mechanisms contribute more to Pudong sea dike failure.","Shanghai; Sea dike; Reliability analysis; Delft3D; Sea level rise; Land subsidence","en","master thesis","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

With high water level at the toe, the sea embankment is likely to be overtopped and breached, finally resulting in inundation inland. The objective of this research is to study climate change and land subsidence effects on Shanghai inland inundation due to dike overtopping and breaching under extreme weather condition. A hydrodynamic model and a wave model have been established by Delft3D-FM and Delft3D respectively. Through validations on historical events, the hydrodynamic model and wave model are proved to be valid. The water level and wave condition along the coast, which are concerned as the results of these two models, are also essential inputs for overtopping and breach discharge calculation. In overtopping and breach discharge calculation, the threshold of breaching is estimated as an overtopping rate of 0.1 m3/m/s. The resulting overtopping and breach discharge gives the boundary condition of the overland simulation. The inundation map over Shanghai area can then be achieved by the overland simulation. A sensitivity analysis of the breach widths is also done. Ten hypothetical typhoon events are provided by the Met Office Hadley Center under past and future climate conditions. These cases are applied to the whole process to study the effects of climate change on coastal flooding in Shanghai. The relative sea level rise is also considered for both past and future climate conditions. The results show that places with high water level and low sea dike elevation are more likely to get high overtopping that can finally result in breaching. For Shanghai city, such vulnerable places can be found along Hangzhou Bay, especially in Jinshan District and the south-east corner of Shanghai. Besides, the entrance of Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel is also vulnerable due to land subsidence. For some extreme cases, the whole Shanghai coast is in danger. For the past climate and land elevation around the year 2000 with the wind speed return period of 1.3 yr and the breach width assumed to be 300 m, it is simulated that the maximum inundation area in Shanghai can be 1,805 km2 (33.3% of the simulated area in Shanghai). In the future, given the challenge of climate change and land subsidence, the sea level is relatively rising. The intensity of typhoon will generally strengthen. For the future climate and land elevation around the year 2100 with the wind speed return period of 4.5 yr, it is simulated that the inundation area in Shanghai can be 3,388 km2 (62.4% of the simulated area in Shanghai), which is almost twice of the inundation area around the year 2000. The breach width also affects the inundation situation. If the breach width becomes larger, the inundation situation will be worse. However, as the breach width grows, the increase of the inundation area decreases.","Coastal flood modelling; Embankment breaches; Delft3D-FM; Shanghai; Climate change impact","en","master thesis","","","","","","","","","","","","","","31.23,121.47"

To deal with the undesirable consequences of these events and mitigate the flood hazard, the research of flood reduction measures is necessary. In this effort, the hydrodynamic modelling is a useful tool.
In this master thesis a 2D model was developed for the simulation of urban flood events in Jingan District in the downtown of Shanghai. The main objectives of the thesis were the production of the flood hazard maps for numerous rainfall events and the assessment of the proposed flood mitigation measures. Delft3D Flexible Mesh was used as a tool to produce the inundation maps. Also, several data were considered regarding the grid for the numerical calculation, the surface elevation, the local drainage system and the rainfall events. SOBEK was used for the set up and the preprocessing of the sewer system. For the simulations, data from three historical rainfall events were used: August 2005, August 1997 and September 2013 and five rainfall events with return periods of 1, 3, 5, 10 and 50 years were generated by using the Chicago hydrograph.
For the validation of the model, the rainfall event of August 2005 was used. Although the validation of the model was not proven due to the simplifications that were made in the input data and the lack of data, the model showed that some processes can be simulated, and inundation maps can be produced. By comparing the results that occur with and without the inclusion of the drainage system, it was concluded that the local drainage system should be included in the analysis for the assessment of the flood hazard in an urban area, since its presence plays an important role in the flood reduction. The results showed that the maximum inundation depth can decrease by around 45%. As flood reduction measures, the creation of water storage areas and the increase of the drainage capacity were considered. The water storage areas covered around 10%, or less, of the block areas with available space, leading to a water depth reduction that depends on the location in the map. For the increase of the drainage capacity, the value of 1 m3/s was assigned in a single and in multiple locations in a specific area of investigation. The results showed a percentage of water depth reduction around 15.9% and 45.5%, respectively. For the same location the percentage of water depth reduction due to the water storage areas was 22.5%.
Finally, uncertainties were introduced in the model due to the assumptions and the simplifications that were made in the input data. However, this model can work as a base for future researches to accomplish more realistic results, by improving the current model and adding more updated and precise data.
2, and the total loss of residential buildings and household properties is 29.7 billion CNY (Chinese Yuan) (or 4.4 billion USD), while the inundation area of residential buildings and the total loss increases up to 162.4 km2 and 366.0 billion CNY (or 54.2 billion USD), respectively for a 1/5000-year storm flood. The estimated average annual loss (AAL) of residential buildings and household properties for Shanghai is 590 million CNY/year (or 87.4 million USD/year), with several hot spots distributed around the main urban area and on the bank of the Hangzhou Bay. Among sixteen districts, Pudong has the highest exposure and annual expected loss, while the inner city is also subject to extreme flooding with an AAL up to near half of the total. An analysis of flood risk in each of 209 subdistricts/towns finds that those most vulnerable to storm flooding are concentrated in Pudong, Jiading, Baoshan Districts and the inner city. Our work can provide meaningful information for risk-sensitive urban planning and resilience building in Shanghai. The methodology can also be used for risk analysis in other coastal cities facing the threat of storm flooding.","Extreme flooding; Household property; Residential building; Risk analysis; Shanghai","en","journal article","","","","","","","","","","","Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk","","",""

This kind of non-places creates neither singular identity nor relations; only solitude and similitude, especially for those metropolises, like Shanghai. Shanghai is described as the place where eastern culture meets the western one, due to its colonial history. In the 1990s, rapid re-development and economic reforms began in Shanghai. Shanghai is one of the fastest developing cities in the world and has been described as the “showpiece” of the booming economy of mainland China. On the other hand, the structure of the society also changed subsequently. The relationship between the urban space and people need to be re-examined. The research of the graduation project starts from research’s personal life experience. Shanghai People’s square is in the center area of Shanghai, it is one of the top tourist destinations in the city and metro station of People’s square is one of the busiest interchange station. Such space used to be attractive to people due to its special historical and cultural background. But now its identity is challenged, becoming a pass-by place more than a destination.
