In many developing cities, flood adaptation measures face planning challenges, often remaining underdeveloped. This paper explores urban flood adaptation solutions within a climate-vulnerable Southeast Asian city, focusing on the transformative potential of “design workshops.” Through collaboration with designers, planners, and decision-makers, the workshop introduced and experimented with adaptation pathways. Findings highlight the workshop’s role in formulating integrated flood adaptation solutions, fostering urban climate resilience. The adaptation pathways approach facilitates a concrete, time-bound design process for Bangkok’s flood adaptation. Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial, yet feasibility depends on policy alignment, technical expertise, and local resources. Implementing such strategies requires a concerted effort by local governments, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to urban planning and flood risk management. 🏙️
