This book considers the impact of climate change on cities,
advocating that people are the panaceas and antidote to mitigating
climate change, by enhancing their involvement in achieving
sustainable development Goals (SDGs). This leads to the development
of an SDG best practice participation template, which is supported
by an extensive checklist of the 'whats' and 'hows' in
participatory processes. Using case studies, extensive literature
reviews and meta-analysis to make a case for a people-centric and
integrated approach to sustainable urban development, it examines
the role of governance in climate change, focusing on decision
making processes, policies and regulations, as well as focusing on
the significance of a people-oriented approach on climate change
and cities. Through an extensive global outlook, this book
highlights bottom-up methods of implementing and achieving
sustainable urban development in the age of climate change. These
highlights should help to develop new mindsets, new strategies, new
directions and new policies, through which we can see a more
sustainable approach to urbanisation and urban development
globally, which can start 'equipping future generations with the
tools for them to help their future generations'.
