This book focuses on policies and governance on how to build the
resilience of cities to droughts and floods in the short-, medium-,
and long-term. There are discussions on how cities prepare for,
cope with, learn from, manage, and recover from these extreme
events. The chapters also consider aspects such as changing
paradigms, policy responses under uncertainty, scenario
development, institutional responses, adaptive forecasting,
governance perspectives, infrastructure development, overall
investments, and technological innovation. The Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction are discussed at length. Most of the cities and regions
studied are in Asia, however, cities from Oceania, Europe, Africa,
and North America are also included. Analyses are not limited to
cities but to the basins and regions from which urban populations
obtain their resources, and on which their resilience depends. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Water Resources Development.
