Providing effective information regarding flood control for responding climate change is essential to
future flood risk management for cities. This study simulated and assessed the impacts of flooding for
future climate change scenarios in Taipei city, Taiwan. We modelled rainfall events, generated by
general circulation models, with different return periods. The flood extents and damage in the Central
Taipei Area for the A1B climate change scenarios were compared to the ones, caused by the rainfall
events with same return periods, without climate change (baseline scenario). The proposed approach
provides potential flooding maps and flood damage assessment for climate change scenarios as
useful information for flood risk management in urban areas.
