Description

Manage the growing challenges of rising sea levels and urban vulnerability with this comprehensive study from Routledge. This book examines the complex problems and practical solutions related to climate adaptation and flood risk within major coastal urban centers. Through an independent investigation, it explores specific adaptation paths taken by Rotterdam, New York, and Jakarta, providing a comparative analysis that reveals valuable lessons for global urban planning. While the primary focus remains on coastal flooding, the text also addresses how climate change impacts cities in ways that extend far beyond the shoreline. For instance, it looks at how systems like the New York City Water Supply System, which reaches 120 miles upstate, are affected by changing environmental conditions. This resource provides a deep look at how municipal departments, such as the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, manage these large-scale environmental shifts. It is an essential read for anyone studying urban resilience and the long-term effects of climate change on metropolitan infrastructure.
