Abstract

During the last week of August 2025, Lahore faced one of its most devastating flood episodes that was driven by intense monsoon rainfall and abrupt upstream water releases. This review synthesizes current news coverage and pertinent literature to scrutinize the causes, urban vulnerabilities, administrative and managerial responses, public health implications, and technology-based resolutions for flood resilience in urban settings of Lahore. The insights gained and recommended policies will also be shared with the readers.
