Cities and Climate Change (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on examples from cities in the north and south, this book provides the first introductory text on the intersection between climate change and urbanization. It considers the causes and impacts of climate change in the city, examines how responses to mitigate and adapt to climate change have emerged, and assesses their impacts and implications. Illustrated with detailed case-studies, this book will enable students to understand the potential and limits of addressing climate change at the urban level and to explore the consequences for our future cities.
