Planning for Climate Change - A Reader in Green Infrastructure and Sustainable Design for Resilient CitiesPaperback softback
This book provides an overview of the large and interdisciplinary literature on the substance and process of urban climate change planning and design, using the most important articles from the last 15 years to engage readers in understanding problems and finding solutions to this increasingly critical issue. Both reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as adapting to future climate are explored. The Reader's particular focus is how the impacts of climate change can be addressed in urban and suburban environments-what actions can be taken, as well as the need for and the process of climate planning.
