Urban Resilience for Climate Adaptation
This article is connected to our previous post on the Asia-Pacific Resilience Prospectus, from the 100 Resilient Cities project by the Rockefeller Foundation. The project aims to support cities in the Asia Pacific to achieve urban resilience. Urban resilience refers to how cities answer the challenges they are facing like climate change, rapid population growth,...
