Abstract

Research focusing on flood resilience and impervious surface area reduction strategies is crucial for mitigating urban flood risks exacerbated by climate change and urbanization. A bibliometric analysis of 549 English language publications identifies key journals, influential authors, and top contributing countries in this field. The study emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaborations, integration of advanced technologies, and targeted research in emerging economies to enhance global flood resilience. These insights are valuable for researchers and policymakers working on effective flood risk management and sustainable urban development.
