内容简介

Urban areas are home to over half the world's people and are at the forefront of the climate change issue. The need for a global research effort to establish the current understanding of climate change adaptation and mitigation at the city level is urgent. To meet this goal a coalition of international researchers - the Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) - was formed at the time of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit in New York in 2007. This book is the First UCCRN Assessment Report on Climate Change and Cities. The authors are all international experts from a diverse range of cities with varying socio-economic conditions, from both the developing and developed world. It is invaluable for mayors, city officials and policymakers; urban sustainability officers and urban planners; and researchers, professors and advanced students.

The content of the book seems to be fine. Just wanted to post a fair warning that if you purchase this book in the Kindle edition, you could miss or have trouble viewing pertinent information depicted in the figures and tables within the book. They are rendered very poorly and are illegible in most cases. Amazon is not usually known for cutting corners and I assume they are working on a solution.

A very find collection of reports on how cities can deal with climate change. Of particular interest is the one on water and sea level rise, which has become of key interest since the recent flooding disaster in New York. Highly recommended to those interested in urban planning in conjunction with environmental issues.
