ABRI Holds Seminar on Urban Inland Flood Resilience Planning to Integrate Hydraulic Simulation into National Spatial Plans
Architecture · AEC industry
Taiwan's Architecture and Building Research Institute (ABRI) hosted a seminar on inland flood mitigation resilience planning with spatial planning authorities and professional guilds. The meeting concluded that the hydraulic adaptation platform can simulate flood scenarios for large-scale developments during spatial plan reviews, though output maps should note 'for reference only' due to varying update cycles across geographic datasets.
Taiwan's Architecture and Building Research Institute (ABRI) convened a seminar on November 11, 2025, regarding the second phase of urban inland flood mitigation resilience planning. Participants included the National Land Management Agency, Urban and Rural Development Branch, Taichung City Government, Taoyuan City Government, and the Taiwan Provincial Urban Planning Technicians Guild, focusing on integrating resilience planning outcomes into national spatial and urban planning frameworks. The meeting concluded that hydraulic flood-reduction techniques effectively capture basin-wide inundation conditions. During comprehensive reviews of national spatial plans, the platform can simulate inundation under large-scale development scenarios, reducing the workload for planners and identifying flood-prone hotspots to inform land-use guidelines. However, because the model depends heavily on real-time updates of geographic data with varying update intervals, attendees recommended that output mapping products clearly state they are for reference only.
Key takeaways
- ABRI, spatial planning authorities, and professional guilds met to discuss integrating urban inland flood mitigation into spatial and urban plans.
- The hydraulic simulation platform helps assess basin flood scenarios during spatial plan reviews and supports land-use guidelines.
- Because the platform relies on geographic data with varying update intervals, participants advised labeling output maps as 'for reference only.'
