By 2050, people in urbanised areas will account for 68% of the world's population, 80% of which will be concentrated in Asia and Africa. The “planetary urbanisation”, theorised by Brenner and Schmid in 2011, will be intensified by the increasing and frequently occurring effects of climate change, such as flooding, droughts, rising temperatures, seawater's acidification, and so forth. Decisive action is urgently needed to reduce the climate change impacts on population, ecosystems and economic development in the future decades. The theoretical concept underpinning this master thesis is urban climate resilience developed in its main three components: (i) urban system; (ii) climate change; and (iii) resilience.
