Understanding the complex field of extreme events management and its impact on sustainable development especially in time of crisis is an opportunity to shape integrated management strategies that can facilitate the mitigation of challenges posed by climate change, while advancing sustainable development goals in urban areas. The goal of this paper is to explore the latest achievements in cutting-edge literature and predictive models to monitor and spatially analyze extreme events to prioritize resilient and sustainable urban planning towards the achievement of a more sustainable urban development. The overarching outcome is to provide a set of policy and practical recommendations and highlight the necessity for further specific analyses, acknowledging that sustainable urban planning and risk management can significantly contribute to climate-induced management crisis.
