Undoubtedly, cities and their population are expanding and growing worldwide, exacerbating the vulnerability of these urban centres to the amplified effects of climate change. In this epoch of rapid urbanization in which urban growth is inevitable, there is a need to create balance in the urban environment where people and nature can co-exist. Cities are key which produce the challenges but at the same time, they also concentrate on grasping the opportunities to deal with these present issues. Nevertheless, urban planning plays a significant role in addressing climate change effects and adapting cities by implementing various strategic planning actions and measures towards carbon neutrality as well as supporting collaborations among different stakeholders, aiming towards more sustainable and resilient cities.
