Climate Adaptation and Resilience Across Scales provides
professionals with guidance on adapting the built environment to a
changing climate. This edited volume brings together practitioners
and researchers to discuss climate-related resilience from the
building to the city scale. This book highlights North American
cases that deal with issues such as climate projections, public
health, adaptive capacity of vulnerable populations, and design
interventions for floodplains, making the content applicable to
many locations around the world. The contributors in this book
discuss topics ranging from how built environment professionals
respond to a changing climate, to how the building stock may need
to adapt to climate change, to how resilience is currently being
addressed in the design, construction, and operations communities.
The purpose of this book is to provide a better understanding of
climate change impacts, vulnerability, and resilience across scales
of the built environment. Architects, urban designers, planners,
landscape architects, and engineers will find this a useful
resource for adapting buildings and cities to a changing climate.
