Abstract
The combination of rapid urbanization and climate change are likely to result in substantially larger flood impacts compared with former flood events. These could cause a problem for traditional flood management in order to assess the potential flood impacts which have been exaggerated by interlinked political, socioeconomic and environmental changes. Furthermore, cities that depend on flood-control measures which can resist flood only up to certain magnitude will have a problem to cope with growing floods that are expected to increase due to extreme and unpredictable climate. In this context, the concept of resilience has gained much attention from researchers and academicians despite facing many challenges, especially in implementation and management practice. This study attempts to tackle these challenges by developing a practical framework which is based on a multidimensional strategy; context, content, and process. With the purpose of applying the theoretical framework to practical situation, then it will be implemented to assess the flood resilience city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
