### Characterization and Comparison of Profiles
Pattern B, floodable river cities: This pattern is composed of 24 cities, primarily in river environments impacted by floods and storms. There is a clear focus on resilience improvement measures based on climate-based planning and urbanization with measures to improve flood prevention networks and systems. As a dominant profile, the following stand out:  
* Profile 3, floodable river cities, mainly German, focused on climate-adapted planning: these are river cities (OR = 11.5), which include most of the German cities in the study (OR = \(\infty\)) and a UK city, located in the Atlantic (OR = 5.8) and continental regions (OR = 4.6), with impacts from flooding (OR = \(\infty\)) and storms (OR = 9.2). They focus mainly on disaster risk reduction actions (OR = 6.6) based on the fight against natural risks (OR = 4.0) and on resilience (OR = 7.6) and urban and planning actions (OR = \(\infty\)) as climate-adapted urbanization and landscape strategies (OR = 4.5). This includes the cities of Aachen, Arnsberg, Elmshorn, Frankfurt am Main, Greater Manchester, Hannover, Leicester, Munich, Munster, Stuttgart and Wuppertal. As secondary profiles or variants of Pattern B:
* Profile 4, mainly Belgian or nearby river cities, focusing on prevention and safety against heat waves and floods: Antwerp, Antwerp Province, Ghent, Hasselt, Leuven, Worms and Zwijndrecht. * Profile 12, Dutch river cities, with increased attention to extreme temperature impacts and flooding, focusing on natural protection actions: Arnhem and Nijmegen. * Profile 17, dry and floodable continental river cities, focusing on the naturalization of the medium and the city: Bratislava. * Profile 18, UK fluvial, dry, floodable and coastal cities, medium naturalization and city, business boost and safety measures against heat waves: Edinburgh. * Profile 14: English river cities, with a focus on self-protection, equity and business: Newcastle upon Tyne and Stirling. Pattern C, mainly Mediterranean and coastal cities, focused on adaptation through conservation measures and planning sensitive to nature and climate: this pattern is made up of 24 cities, mainly in Mediterranean and coastal environments. Many of the measures focus on the environmental field, regenerating natural environments, creating natural corridors and connections with cities, improving biodiversity and certain measures towards mitigation. As a dominant profile, the following stand out:  
* Profile 2, coastal cities that are focused on measures for the conservation, regeneration and protection of natural spaces and coastlines: coastal cities (OR = 32.6), mainly in Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Mediterranean regions but also in the Arctic due to an Icelandic case. They show attention to the impact of sea level rise (OR = 13.4). They propose actions for the regeneration and naturalization of natural areas (OR = 12.5), especially aquatic areas (OR = 9.2), the creation of corridors (OR = 38.6) connected to the city (OR = 5.7), the improvement of biodiversity (OR = 11.6) and a regulatory approach (OR = 3.8). Although an indoor city is included, it shares the measures with the rest. This includes the cities of Andrano, Cascais, Lisbon, Reggio Emilia, Reykjavik, San Benedetto del Tronto, San Sebastian/Donostia, Silvi, Torres Vedras and Vila do Conde. As secondary profiles or variants of Pattern C:
* Profile 5, cities with drought, extreme temperatures and fires, focused on the promotion and regeneration of the natural and urban environment, climate-sensitive urbanization and protection against heat waves: Albertslund, Bologna, Burgas, Coruche, Lleida, Madrid, Mertola and Sorradile. * Profile 16, inland Atlantic river cities with extreme temperatures and water scarcity, focusing on mitigation, urban reuse, land-use reduction and social protection: Rouen and Toulouse Metropole. * Profile 8, Mediterranean coastal cities with extreme temperatures, focused on forest fire control and mitigation: including the cities of Agioi Anargyroi-Kamatero, Alimos, Farsala and Ilion.
