Cities and Climate Change: Climate Policy, Economic Resilience and Urban Sustainability de Zaheer Allam

Cities and Climate Change: Climate Policy, Economic Resilience and Urban Sustainability: Palgrave Studies in Climate Resilient Societies

Autor Zaheer Allam, David Jones, Meelan Thondoo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2020
This book explores climate change responsiveness policies for cities and discusses why they have been slow to gain traction despite having been on the international agenda for the last 30 years. The contributing role of cities in accentuating the effects of climate change is increasingly demonstrated in the literature, underscoring the unsustainable models on which urban life has been made to thrive. As these issues become increasingly apparent, there are global calls to adopt more sustainable and equitable models, however doing so will mean the disruption of economies that have historically relied upon pollution-generating industries. In order to address these issues the authors examine them from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bringing in regional, local and urban standpoints to subsequently propose an alternative short-term economic model that could accelerate the adoption of climate change mitigation infrastructures and urban sustainability in urban areas. 

This book will be of particular value to scholars and students alike in the field of urbanism, sustainability and resilience, as well as practitioners looking at avenues for economically incentivizing sustainable development in various geographical context.
