Nevertheless, limited information is available on which to base development of early warning systems, identification of high-risk zones, and formulation of local action plans. This book is about how to build the knowledge necessary for planning adaptation to climate change in Sub-Saharan cities. It brings together lessons learned from international development actions conducted by a number of scholars in disciplines ranging from meteorology and hydrogeology to urban planning and environmental management. Selected methods to assess the impacts of extreme weather and ecological stress are presented along with possible approaches to improve the adaptive capacity of Sub-Saharan cities through institutional measures at the local government level. The book is addressed to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in order to integrate climate change into applied research and development projects in urban Africa. 410 0$aSpringer Climate,$x2352-0698 606 $aClimate change 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 676 $a363.738740968 702 $aMacchi$b Silvia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTiepolo$b Maurizio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299553203321 996 $aClimate Change Vulnerability in Southern African Cities$92543211 997 $aUNINA
