The Changing City. Designing for sustainability and urban complexity

The "Changing City. Designing for Sustainability and Urban Complexity" volume is dealing with climate adaptation and resilience that involves the Changing City's capacity to respond and recover from various shocks and stresses including natural disasters, social challenges, economic threats. Particularly, in contemporary hanging cities, the focus is on incorporating natural elements through planning policy and under the Green Infrastructure (GI) conception to maximize social, environmental, and economic benefits. The book is divided into a two sections with titles as follows: Part One - "Addressing Urban Sustainability Through Innovative Initiatives" outlines the methodology and design approaches used to identify key strategies and policy recommendations that inform contemporary design practices and support the broader applicability of urban initiatives. But also shows innovative design strategies and approaches aim to improve the quality of urban environments and contribute to the revitalization of public spaces. Part Two - "The Award-winning experience: Updates and Scientific Continuity" presents additional conceptual insights drawn from the three awarded papers featured in the Changing Cities VI International Conference. These insights warrant further exploration to deepen understanding and inform future research. Both the general and specific research findings require explicit recognition and should be coherently integrated with complementary components. Moreover, the discussion highlights the extent to which current practices must evolve to fully align with climate mitigation and adaptation goals.
