OverviewExploring the ways that contemporary urban life takes the Holocene for granted, this multidisciplinary book warns that anthropogenic environmental impacts are on course to challenge the viability of most human settlements. It highlights how, despite increased warnings, most cities appear to be in denial of the potential impending catastrophes and remain ill-prepared to handle major disruptions. Chapters offer a critical appraisal of the end of an urban epoch: the Holocene city. Moving from more general aspects of urban vulnerability in the face of the Anthropocene, the book then looks at more specific issues and cases illustrating alternative adaptation pathways. It further analyses existing approaches, movements and networks for urban preparedness for the climate crisis, offering visualisations of the ways these can be improved, conceiving alternative futures and reinventing the city. A timely resource for this emerging topic, the book will be beneficial to urban studies, environmental science and development studies scholars. Practitioners in urban planning, design, management and evaluation will also find the critical case studies in the book particularly helpful. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Francisco J.

Collectively, they serve as a call to action with a clear message: business as usual will be insufficient to meet the climate challenges of our future. Cities must be reimagined, and this book is a place to start that work.' -- Ashley D. Ross, Texas A&M University at Galveston, US 'City Preparedness for the Climate Crisis brings together many of the world's leading researchers as we all scramble to address urban resilience in the face of climate change. The book gives a comprehensive assessment of where cities are today, what vulnerabilities are most acute, and how we might bring about greater resilience and well-being for the world's cities. For cities, as outlined in the book's summary chapter, governance: the need for better collaboration and co-ordination, is paramount. This collection makes an impressive start to this task.' -- Daniel Hoornweg, Ontario Tech University, Canada ‘This is definitely a book that offers some answers and questions to the wicked climate change problems from a local perspective.’ -- Xira Ruiz-Campillo, Regional Studies ‘The breadth of concepts, cases, and data outlined in this book provide critical insights into climate change adaptation.
