An integrated physical diagnosis of compound climate risks for urban sustainability in Port Said Region, Egypt

Description

Port Said, a low delta city in Egypt, faces many climate hazards at once, and Taher Osman maps them together in a 2026 study. Seven hazards are weighed: shore erosion, floods, salt water in wells, drought, heat waves, land stress, and port disruption. Three time windows are covered, from today to the long term past mid-century.

Models draw on global climate projections, water flow records, and satellite data, checked against fifty years of shore change and tide gauges. Sinking land, at several millimeters a year, speeds sea-level harm. A triangle of top risks overlaps the main growth zones, putting large investments in danger. Osman proposes planning steps that other delta cities can copy.
