The urban problem at the beginning of the second set of twenty years of the new century requires a complete rethinking of the way of aggregation of man who, today, represents a large part of the world population due to increasingly accelerated urbanization processes over time. The human being has become a citizen, and within the city limits, he tries to develop his life expectancy by seizing opportunities from this. This search for well-being, understood as a complete state of man, at once physiological and psychological and social, can be thwarted by an urban structure that is not functionally capable of providing answers. The climate problem exacerbates this problem by strongly stressing the contradictions of living. Science, technology, and politics are today able to give answers if applied wisely in a joint effort, in a unit of language. This book proposes several solutions that can be implemented today, ranging from a full understanding of phenomena to adaptation policies for solving problems. The most pressing invitation is addressed precisely to politics to make cities more resilient and safe.Research & information: generalbicsscACCCRNClimate change adaptationinstitutionalising adaptationhybrid institutionalismmainstreaming resilienceurban resilience and adaptationurban green systemecosystem servicesclimate change benefitsresilient cityurban resilient developmentgreen urban planningpollution flow patternswind circulation patternsemission inventorycriteria pollutantsMexico Cityurban heat islandurbanizationurban surface energy balancefluidodynamic modelingEnvi-Methuman biometeorologythermal comfortinterdisciplinarityclimate change adaptationthermal sensitive designweb-based platformearly warning systemvulnerability simulationsflood risk mapsrainfall estimatesmicrowave linksCMLcrowdsourcingsensible targetsurban greeningUrbClim modelwater bodiessystems changeinnovationnature-based solutionscitiesurban climateopen datadata sourcesurban climate monitoringResearch & information: generalGeorgiadis Teodoroedt505667Cremonini LetiziaedtGeorgiadis TeodoroothCremonini LetiziaothBOOK9910557505303321Urban Climate and Adaptation Tools3038150UNINA
