This book suggests that climate change and its resulting uncertainties challenge the concepts, procedures, and scope of conventional approaches to planning, creating a need to rethink and revise current planning methods. Therefore, this book suggests a paradigm shift in our thinking, interrogation, and planning of our cities. Based on the contemporary conditions of risk at cities, this book conceptualizes the risk city as a construct of three interlinked concepts of risk, trust, and practice. It is a construct of risk and its new evolving conditions and knowledge of uncertainties stem from climate change and other risks and uncertainties. As a construct of practices, the risk city produces social and political institutional framework and promotes practices accordingly in order to reduce risk and risk possibilities and to increase trust. In light of the complex challenges and risks to the human habitat that have emerged in recent years, many cities have prepared various types of plans aimed at addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Nonetheless, despite the importance of these plans and the major public resources invested in their formulation, we still know little about them and have yet to begin studying them and assessing their contributions . From the innovative perspective of the risk city, this book asks critical questions about the nature, vision, practices, and potential impact of the recent climate change-oriented plans. What kinds of risks do they attempt to address, what types of practices do they institute, and what types of approaches do they apply? Do they adequately address the risks and uncertainties posed? How do they contribute to the worldwide effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? This book uses the methodologically innovative Risk City framework to examine the nature, vision, outcomes, practices, and impact of these crucial plans, as well as their contribution to the resilience of our cities and to global efforts toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Energy,$x2195-1284 ;$v29 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aClimate change 606 $aBuildings?Design and construction 606 $aBuilding 606 $aConstruction 606 $aEngineering, Architectural 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aBuilding Construction and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012 606 $aCities, Countries, Regions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K14000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 615 0$aEnergy efficiency. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aBuildings?Design and construction. 615 0$aBuilding. 615 0$aConstruction. 615 0$aEngineering, Architectural. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 14$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aBuilding Construction and Design. 615 24$aCities, Countries, Regions. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 676 $a333.7 676 $a551.6 676 $a621.042 676 $a658.26 676 $a690 676 $a720 700 $aJabareen$b Yosef$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871868 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299606403321 996 $aThe Risk City$91946438 997 $aUNINA
