Planning Practices for Cities Countering Climate Change

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Risk City

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Energy ((LNEN,volume 29))

Abstract

In light of the complex challenges facing our cities, this chapter challenges the current planning practices of the risk city that are aimed at countering climate change. Climate change and its resulting uncertainties, it argues, call into question the practices, concepts, procedures, and scope of conventional approaches to planning, creating a need to rethink and revise current planning methods. In the following pages, we propose a conceptual planning framework for countering climate change in the urban context. Composed of six interlinking concepts, this new multifaceted easy-to-grasp framework—Planning for Countering Climate Change (PCCC)-stands to help scholars, practitioners, and policy makers better comprehend the role of policies and programs in countering climate change at the city level. PCCC is a praxis, an integration of theory and practices, which synthesizes the knowledge and the skills necessary to effectively manage and cope with climate change in the urban context.
