Short summary
This study proposes a framework combining robustness and adaptiveness for long-term flood planning. Applied to Shanghai, it shows that the most cost-effective option may not meet long-term goals, and a combination of green spaces, drainage, and tunnels outperforms alternative options. The findings emphasize that flexibility and adaptability are critical for developing robust, long-term adaptation pathways and minimizing future risks in other urban areas.
