Answer:

YES

Explanation:

Indeed there are many advantages to building cities on a high area; one of which is that these cities are less prone to flooding if proper drainage channels are constructed. During raining season, when water levels rise, cities built on low areas experience huge flooding (despite proper drainage system) as against cities built on high areas (having proper drainage systems) because it's easier for the drainage of low area cities to be submerged by water when water level rises as against the high area drainage system that is well above the sea level and could not easily be submerged by water and hence the city.
