Introduction. Shaping a Climate-resilient future for our cities

The chapter is dealing with the growing concerns on climate crisis for urban environments, urban resilience conception that is in the centre of recent research studies. Research focuses on the opportunities to deliver climate mitigation and adaptation through spatial planning. Findings emphasized the need for a resilient public space design through urban greening, capacity to threat sustainable urban mobility and connectivity, flood-resilient management and so on. They are also expected to provide key initiatives and tools for urban planners and architects in shaping new urban scenarios. By highlighting recent advances, evolving knowledge about urban emergencies can be adapted to address climate-related risks while preserving urban quality. Thus, resilient studies can offer positive insights on how cities can be modified to changing conditions. Finally, discussions reflect on how sensitive environments can take advances from urban theory to design and suggest opportunities and solutions.
