Language English Scope It is recognized that large cities with a population of several million people are inherently vulnerable to extreme weathers such as torrential rain, lightning, strong wind, giant typhoon, and heat wave. It is argued that the occurrence of extreme weather phenomena tends to increase due to the climatic change. Cooperating with domestic and international academic scientists, the session will focus on the mechanism of extreme weather, its monitoring and prediction methods, effects of urbanization on hazards, and social experiments on resilient cities.
