About this title

Synopsis

This timely Handbook explores how planning can be used as a mechanism, a tool and a process to sustainably manage the impacts of climate change. Conceptually grounded in the planning and climate change literature, it illustrates the different capabilities, and inadequacies, of planning in addressing climate change adaptation.

Focusing on vulnerability to climate change, planning and resilience responses and the future of climate change adaptation, the Handbook analyses multiple case studies from across the global North and South. These include adaptations to extreme heat in Tanzania, urban resilience in Zimbabwe and nature-based solutions for Australian cities. Leading experts discuss the widespread, severe and frequent impacts of the climate crisis, such as flood and drought events, hurricanes, heatwaves and bush fires. They demonstrate the capacity of planning to deliver climate change actions, as well as how planning education is responding to these challenges.

Students and scholars of urban, regional and environmental planning will greatly benefit from this illuminating Handbook. It is also a vital resource for academics in related fields such as human geography, development studies and urban studies.
