Urban flooding is increasingly reshaping everyday life and governance in rapidly growing cities in South Asia. This talk draws on research in Bengaluru, India, where recurring monsoon floods and a recent climate action plan highlight flood management as an interconnected technical, social, and political challenge. It explores how flood risk is negotiated through tensions between policy ambition and everyday realities. By situating flooding within broader questions of urban development and environmental uncertainty, the talk will reflect on evolving politics of disaster resilience.
