Urban development can increase flooding by replacing natural areas like forests and wetlands with impermeable surfaces like concrete and asphalt. This prevents rainwater from being absorbed into the ground, leading to increased runoff and overwhelming drainage systems. Additionally, urban development can disrupt natural water flow patterns, exacerbating flooding in downstream areas.
