The project aimed to develop a better understanding of the risks and impacts of climate change related hazards to African cities, assess their vulnerability to these risks, and identify innovative strategies for planning and governance to increase their resilience. For the first time, a systematic and groundbreaking study of this kind was applied in an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach. CLUVA was unique in that it combined: a top-down perspective of climate change modeling with a bottom-up perspective of vulnerability assessment; quantitative approaches from engineering sciences and qualitative approaches of the social sciences; a novel multi-risk modeling methodology; strategic approaches to urban and green infrastructure planning with neighborhood perspectives of adaptation. The book broadly follows the approach taken in the CLUVA project. First, the combined pressures of urbanisation and climate change on the African continent and the potential impacts these will have on cities are illustrated. Then, the vulnerability of three main elements of the urban system is explored: built structures and infrastructures, urban ecosystems and people. Rich material from five case studies is provided for in-depth discussion of the factors that make these elements vulnerable to climate change, while alternatives for increasing their adaptive capacity are outlined. Another section is dedicated to the role of urban planning and governance for climate change adaptation, which is approached from diverse perspectives. Finally, the different dimensions of the CLUVA project are synthesised to develop an outlook on future coping strategies for urbanisation and climate change in African cities. Leading researchers in the fields of vulnerability and urban planning have been invited to contribute complementary chapters. Thus, the book should be of wide interest to scholars in the field of urban vulnerability and climate change.  . 410 0$aFuture City,$x1876-0899 ;$v4 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aClimate change 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aCities, Countries, Regions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K14000 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 14$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aCities, Countries, Regions. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 676 $a304.2091732 702 $aPauleit$b Stephan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aColy$b Adrien$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFohlmeister$b Sandra$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGasparini$b Paolo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJørgensen$b Gertrud$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKabisch$b Sigrun$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKombe$b Wilbard J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLindley$b Sarah$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSimonis$b Ingo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aYeshitela$b Kumelachew$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299819803321 996 $aUrban Vulnerability and Climate Change in Africa$91412910 997 $aUNINA
