Urban areas are sensitive to floods, heat waves, droughts, and other extreme events. Rapid population growth and urbanisation are contributing to the sensitivity of cities to climate. Road infrastructure is in a poor condition and heavy rainfall can lead to its erosion, collapse, and closure, and to accidents due to the presence of dangerous curves and slopes coupled with a lack of retaining walls, traffic signals, and pedestrian bridges.
