By bringing together a range of Asian city experiences in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, this book provides valuable insights into how cities can overcome some of the barriers to building climate resilience, including addressing the needs of vulnerable populations and building up their governance capacities. Drawing together a range of expert contributors, Responding to climate change in Asian cities will be of great interest to scholars of urban studies, sustainability and environmental studies, Asian studies and development studies.
