This book explores key theoretical and empirical issues related to
the development and implementation of planning strategies that can
provide guidance on the transition to climate-compatible and
low-carbon urban development. It especially focuses on integrating
resilience thinking into the urban planning process, and explains
how such an integration can contribute to reflecting the dynamic
properties of cities and coping with the uncertainties inherent in
future climate change projections. Some of the main questions
addressed are: What are the innovative methods and processes needed
to incorporate resilience thinking into urban planning? What are
the characteristics of a resilient urban form and what are the
challenges associated with integrating them into urban development?
Also, how can the resilience of cities be measured and what are the
main constituents of an urban resilience assessment framework? In
addition to addressing these crucial questions, the book features
several case studies from around the world, investigating
methodologies, challenges, and opportunities for mainstreaming
climate resilience in the theory and practice of urban planning.
Featuring contributions by prominent researchers from around the
world, the book offers a valuable resource for students, academics
and practitioners alike.
