Overview

Rapid urbanization in developing countries such as Mozambique is occurring in an unsustainable manner, contributing to the degradation of the quality of life and the environment. Inadequate urban planning and the disorderly occupation of low-income areas have increased the vulnerability of populations to flooding.Urban flooding represents a critical challenge in Mozambique, causing incalculable material and socio-economic damage, especially in relation to the health of the population. This phenomenon is one of the main socio-environmental concerns in the country.This study aims to investigate the relationship between urban flooding and the health of the population of the Nhlamankhulu Municipal District, located in Maputo, Mozambique. The topic is extremely relevant due to the adverse impacts that flooding has had on human health and the well-being of local communities.At the same time, this study is part of the broader context of environmental risk management, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinarity and scientific and technological advances in understanding and tackling these challenges.
