This book describes the urgent challenge faced by cities worldwide
to become resilient to climate change impacts. This challenge goes
further than the ability to resist the impacts of extreme weather
conditions. Coping with climate impacts and the ability to recover
from them are equally important, as well as the capacity to adapt
to the effects of climate change and the ability to transform the
entire urban system. The book explores how the resilience journey
for coastal cities in particular encompasses using scientific
knowledge but also the knowledge of citizens and practitioners.
Measures and strategies on different scales are needed, from
national scale all the way down to neighbourhood, street level and
building level. Representing the holistic nature of climate
resilience, this collection contains unique insights from leading
scientists and practitioners in areas of expertise such as
engineering, social sciences and urban design. It will be a
valuable resource for scholars, students, practitioners and policy
makers interested in the development of resilient and sustainable
urban environments.
