Abstract

Caribbean islands are some of the most vulnerable countries in the world to experience extreme flooding resulting from tropical cyclones, storm surges, and excessive rainfall. Persistent changes in the global climate have made countries like Trinidad and Tobago hot spots of climate change. As a result, the occurrence of extreme flooding events is likely to persist and is made worse by the barriers to adaptation and mitigation, such as having limited knowledge of climate change and how to plan for its impact at the individual level, as well as limited financial resources and technical know-how. Using a secondary research methodology, this chapter seeks to investigate the role that artificial intelligence (AI) plays in urban planning and design in responding to extreme flooding events in Trinidad and Tobago. This chapter discusses not only the historical occurrence of flooding events, and its causes, but also how the possible use and integration of AI in the planning and design of urban spaces in Trinidad and Tobago can assist in reducing the ill effects of such events.
