      abstract = {This book describes the urgent challenge faced by cities  worldwide to become resilient to climate change impacts.  This challenge goes further than the ability to resist the  impacts of extreme weather conditions. Coping with climate  impacts and the ability to recover from them are equally  important, as well as the capacity to adapt to the effects  of climate change and the ability to transform the entire  urban system. The book explores how the resilience journey  for coastal cities in particular encompasses using  scientific knowledge but also the knowledge of citizens and  practitioners. Measures and strategies on different scales  are needed, from national scale all the way down to  neighbourhood, street level and building level.  Representing the holistic nature of climate resilience,  this collection contains unique insights from leading  scientists and practitioners in areas of expertise such as  engineering, social sciences and urban design. It will be a  valuable resource for scholars, students, practitioners and  policy makers interested in the development of resilient  and sustainable urban environments.
