  • Simulating flood impacts in Kampala, Uganda: when do land patterns matter

    • Authors: Pérez-Molina, E.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2015)

  • The use of urban growth modeling has been found useful in searching for strategies to improve flood risk management in Kampala, Uganda. However, to generalize the approach in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa, a deeper understanding of the modeling’s implications is required. Building on a simple cellular automata model calibrated for Upper Lubigi catchment, Kampala, a set of scenarios is defined to explore their impacts on flood outcomes. These scenarios include variations on the spatial determinants of urban growth as well as on the level of built up land demand. Land demand is found to affect total hydrological measures but not the flooding patterns. Spatial patterns can introduce ...

  • Simulating Spatial Patterns of Urban Growth in Kampala, Uganda, and Its Impact on Flood Risk

    • Authors: Perez Molina, E.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Sliuzas, R. V.; Flacke, J. (2018)

  • The case study reported in this chapter approaches this question by adopting a geo-computational approach: it details the use of existing urban growth (Pérez-Molina et al., 2017) and flood models (Sliuzas et al., 2013a) of Kampala (Uganda) for designing future urban growth scenarios and testing their flooding impact. Specifically, the scenarios seek to reproduce and operationalise building densification options available for inclusion in the Kampala Physical Development Plan (KPDP), commissioned by the Kampala Capital City Authority in 2012 (ROM Transport et al., 2012). With this in mind, our research aims were to: (1) identify building densification options ...
