abstract = "Urban flooding causes large societal damages and increased climate adaptation measures is needed. Therapid and local character of extreme rain events make them difficult to observe and predict, and to issuewarnings for. There is also a lack of data on urban flood damages, mainly because of scarce and nonsystematic data collection and management. In this paper, we present the approaches behind the new research project SPARC. The overarching aim of the project is to improve urban rain safety by establishinga participatory system for crowdsourcing of data, to support urban flood risk modelling and adaptation ofcities to intense rainfall. The project will also investigate flood damage mechanisms on the built environment as well as evaluate and communicate small-scale adaptation measures. Municipal water and wastewater utility organizations and insurance industry representatives will be included in a trans-disciplinaryprocess, also including crowdsourcing in a citizen science approach.",
