This book calls for the integration of different disciplines (e.g., atmospheric science, environment occupational health and safety, emergency management, environmental engineering, geography, landscape ecology, public administration and city management, and urban planning and design) to holistically leverage their strengths to systematically address causes, processes, and impacts of climate-related issues. This book also highlights the development of innovative materials, components, systems, methods, tools, and techniques to enhance the mitigation and adaptation capability of stakeholders with different roles in implementing climate-adaptive urban design at various viewpoints, scales, stages, and positions.
This volume provides theoretical, methodological, and practical references for integrative urban climate studies and generates practical implications for positive climate mitigation and adaptation. This book will be of interest to climate-related researchers and managers over a wide range of topics on facts, impacts, causes, and solutions. Beyond them, this book will enlighten urbanists and educators to update knowledge base of how to properly modify, reshape, and manage urban spatial systems and crowd behaviors. We believe this book can inform not only scientists and researchers, but also urban planners, designers, and managers with innovative ideas, methods, strategies, and policies to create climate-resilient and healthy cities and communities.
