Yet, as the longstanding environmental stability of urban regions is altered through climate change, the structure and management of the contemporary city must adapt to these changing conditions if it is to persist in a warming world. To this end, this course explores the fundamental challenges to the city posed by climate change and the range of policy and design-based responses available to anticipate and respond to these challenges. The objectives of the course are to understand the physical mechanisms through which climate change is modifying urban environments and, in turn, how cities amplify these changes; to consider the range of current and proposed policy strategies to manage climate change in cities; and to examine and develop design-based tools for climate change adaptation at the urban scale. In the first component of the course, the physical drivers of climate change at the global and regional scales will be presented to provide students with a theoretical basis for the development of climate management policies and strategies. Particular emphasis will be placed on the present state of the consensus science, observed climate trends, and on tools employed in climate modeling. The second component of the course will examine international to local policy responses to climate change, with an emphasis on local scale hazard mitigation and post-disaster recovery planning. The concluding course component will entail a case analysis of climate management in post-Katrina New Orleans, explore emerging climate adaptation strategies, and provide students with the opportunity to develop climate change adaptation plans for New Orleans neighborhoods.

Africa is not an exception, considering the actual and potential impacts of climate change and climate variability that will threaten its vulnerable sectors and human populations. African countries are projected to experience changing rainfall patterns, rising sea levels, and higher temperatures that will affect food security, agricultural production, water availability, and public health, among others. These climate change impacts and climate variability can further produce social and political problems, such as rural-urban migration and water resource disputes. Furthermore, the low levels of development in many African countries, as well as limited institutional, infrastructural, and technical capacities to respond successfully to climate change impacts and climate variability, can exacerbate the situation. In terms of contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, although African countries are the lightest polluters, it has also become apparent that alternative energy sources can offset the increasing energy demand and dependence on biomass. Addressing climate change offers possibilities for low-carbon development. Moreover, there are promising mechanisms that can address both climate change actions and development goals simultaneously. At the city level, strengthening resilience, or the ability to respond to and absorb the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner and to sustain this ability in the future, and adaptation; the process of adjusting to actual or expected climate change stimuli or their effects, should be at the forefront of planning. Local governments have an important role to play through the provision of adequate infrastructure, regulation of land use, and other public services that are crucial for urban resilience. Mobilizing local governments, in collaboration with national governments, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations, among others, is also critical for an integrated multi-sectoral approach to climate change. The Course on Planning for Climate Change in African Cities provides the foundation for understanding cities’ exposure and sensitivity to climate change, and how cities can manage these impacts in the face of growing uncertainty. It does so by introducing the basic concepts of urban resilience and adaptation, by using illustrative case studies in different African cities. Furthermore, this module provides lectures on the different approaches for climate change planning, whether ad hoc, strategic or mainstreaming; introduces the different steps in the planning cycle – from initial assessment to monitoring and evaluation; and presents the different decision support and assessment tools for prioritizing climate change actions. This course broadens the discussion on planning for climate change by engaging learners to apply their knowledge and practice their decision-making skills in a simulated exercise.

In this course students gain integrated, critical knowledge of climate change responses in theory and practice. Looking at responses from the individual to institutional to international level, students explore the social, cultural, political and psychological aspects of such responses and the practical challenges they pose. Students gain a sophisticated understanding of how responses including adaptation, mitigation, climate-smart development, resilience thinking and carbon sequestration are shaped by existing contexts and demand new capabilities. The course focuses squarely on the “human dimensions” of climate change, including the role of science in policy. Drawing on case studies from around the world, students are required to consider how climate change is understood and framed differently by diverse groups of people and relates to other pressing challenges such as urbanisation. In particular, students explore the conceptual and practical issues climate change poses to urban dwellers and planners, including the complex issues of vulnerability, adaptive capacity, justice and ethics that incremental and transformational responses generate. Students develop an understanding of the barriers to ideal climate change responses and possible strategies for addressing them.

This course presents you with an integrated and contextualised approach to climate change responses, with a focus on social, political, cultural and psychological aspects of such responses. Students examine the relationship between climate change adaptation and mitigation and intentional responses such as climate-smart development, resilience thinking, geoengineering and carbon sequestration. Students consider how climate change responses are shaped by cultural, environmental and socio-political contexts. This course will provide a brief introduction to global climate change science, including the role of science inn climate change discourse. It focuses on the conceptual, political and practical challenges presented by the onset of climate change. Students are required to consider how climate change responses are framed differently by different actors; starting with different perceptions about whether the responses need to be incremental or transformational. Given that we are living in ‘the urban age’ students examine the particular challenges facing urban dwellers and urban planners. Students grapple with questions related to ethics, equity, vulnerability and capacity, and the potential for systemic changes such as relocation, and decarbonisation.

This course explores planning for resilience from a range of perspective, including city managers, transportation and land use planners, utilities engineers, emergency management and sustainability managers, landscape architects, environmental scientists, port authority managers, and elected officials. All these perspectives contribute to, and reflect the governance of a community, and ultimately influence the it’s capacity for resilience. Case studies from across North America will highlight a variety of environmental stressors (including sea level rise, coastal instability, overland flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes) and demonstrate lessons learned and best practices with respect to planning techniques and approaches from a range of communities, from remote towns in the Arctic to population-dense urban centres in British Columbia’s lower mainland, to vibrant port towns in the Maritimes. Note, while the course will explore a range on environmental stressors, a majority of time will be dedicated to climate change. The objective of the course is to provide students with an opportunity to explore some of the practical and nuanced characteristics of environmental resilience as it relates to city and regional planning. This includes an appreciation of the variety of environmental impacts that stress communities, as well as the decision-dynamics behind the policies and planning actions communities take (or should take) to improve their resilience. This includes discussing barriers and challenges to gaining buy-in for action, tools, instruments and best practices for facilitating action, as well as some of the dynamics of working with different levels of government and key stakeholders.

The increase in green house gasses has impacted the climate in many regions in the world. While some places might get hotter and other colder, it is clear that weather events are becoming more extreme in a lot of cities around the world. Two concrete examples are that there will be more events of extreme rainfall and more periods of extreme temperatures and drought. This leads to the paradoxical situation that cities need to prepare for an excess of water as well as a lack thereof. Combined with a situation in democratic societies where increasingly a variety of stakeholders have influence in the governance process and there is a lot of uncertainty, these challenges require strategic planning in order to adequately adept to these challenges. This will be the focus of this course. The course will use 3D planning software engine Tygron to have students experience the process of strategic planning around climate proof urban development and have them develop creative solutions for cases within the Municipality of Amsterdam. Students will be asked to reflect on the process using the literature and classes they have gotten in the course. They will be working within a reflexive backcasting approach to strategic planning.

Climate change is one such impact that has put human settlements at risk and weakened the social and economic resources for long-term survival of people living in cities and towns. Sudden and unexpected storms and floods are on the rise in recent years. Many people are killed and displaced by the climate-change-related disasters. How to plan for a turbulent world in the face of changing climate is the need of the hour. This course aims to provide this knowledge to students.

Description follows:
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing us this century. Cities around the world have begun taking action to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, identify their climate risks, and build resilience to the coming changes. Solutions can also achieve goals for jobs, public health, justice and a vibrant shared life. In this course we will explore the challenges of a changing climate and investigate frameworks and tools to understand and address climate issues that impact people and their communities. We use the UMass campus as our laboratory ‘city’ for applying knowledge and advancing the campus toward climate goals. By the end of the course students will feel knowledgeable and empowered to advocate for better decisions at a local, regional, national or international scale.

Description is as follows: This seminar explores resiliency planning for communities, particularly in the relationship among climate change, built form and infrastructure. What design and regulatory changes are needed to help communities become more resilient to extreme events and climate change while reducing greenhouse gases? How should communities choose between traditional built infrastructure, green infrastructure, and non-structural approaches? What are the equity implications of these choices – who wins, who loses, who pays, who benefits? The class is a graduate-level research seminar in which you will read peer-reviewed articles, discuss them, draw your own conclusions, and do your own research. This course topics are interdisciplinary, emerging and very complex. This suggests that the right pedagogy for the class is collaborative learning, where students are key contributors to knowledge generation. Students from all disciplines are welcome and will be asked to bring their disciplinary knowledge to the discussions. City Global (more than one region) English English Post-graduate 2018

Course goals are as follows: This seminar explores resiliency planning for communities, particularly in the relationship among climate change, built form and infrastructure. What design and regulatory changes are needed to help communities become more resilient to extreme events and climate change while reducing greenhouse gases? How should communities choose between traditional built infrastructure and green infrastructure? What are the equity implications of these choices – who wins, who loses, who pays, who benefits? The class uses active, community-engaged, team based learning. We will prepare a draft resiliency plan for a community each year; in this case, it is the UMass Campus. The plan will take a regional approach to identify potential policies and plans with a particular focus on environmental justice. The process will allow us to develop new frameworks to connect regional spatial form, changing climate, infrastructure, and governance. Key seminar learning goals include:
• Refresh and build basic knowledge of climate change science and policy;
• Develop awareness of both adaptation (adjusting to future climate) and mitigation (reducing greenhouse gasses) in an urban context;
• Apply an ethical lens to issues, attending to the distribution of costs and benefits of action and inaction and the integration of equity and vulnerability in analysis;
• Gain familiarity with planning issues in a developing country context;
• Develop research skills through analysis of a community plan and preparation of a research poster;
• Practice applying critical thinking skills to plans for adaptation/mitigation.		 City Global (more than one region) English Arabic Post-graduate 2018 是

Ranging temporally from Mesopotamia to the dystopian futures of climate fiction and geographically from Venice and Rotterdam, New York and New Orleans, to Jakarta and Dhaka, for example), the seminar explores an array of exemplary historical and present-day sites of delta urbanism as portrayed through views coming from the literary and design communities. We will engage directly with notable experts of design and water management (some of whom will be invited to the seminar) as well as works of literature, philosophy, history, and film. The course will have five parts informed by reading, lectures and discussions taken from design (primarily city planning, landscape architecture and architecture) and literature and film. Part I. Understanding the Problem/Issues will include a discussion on how the texts demonstrate different ways of “knowing” the extent and nature of a problem/issues; Part II. Phenomenology of the Anthropocene dwells on a set of literary texts that helps us discern distinct modes of consciousness relative to water and the city; Part III. Measuring Risk takes a look at how different disciplines consider the economic, environmental and social challenges of living with or near water; Part IV. Range of Solutions offers a survey of the approaches taken to design with water in mind; Part V. Case Studies focuses on selected cities around the world and how they are approaching the planning and design of their environments. The main assignment for the class is for students to work in interdisciplinary teams. Pairs of students (one student from design and one from humanities) will select a research project to explore a place or particular approach and how it treats the opportunities and challenges presented by the amphibious terrain. They will present their research design at the midterm and their finding in the final two weeks of the semester. The class will feature a field trip to New York City to meet with public and private officials dealing with the issues and tour key projects.

Birch at the School of Design, University of Pennsylvania elbirch@upenn.edu Adaptation https://upenn.app.box.com/folder/64730927914 The world is beset by interconnected economic, social, and environmental challenges of a magnitude difficult to grasp, much less address. Population growth and urbanization are at the heart of these challenges, with 2.5 billion additional people expected to be living in urban places by 2050. Poverty (3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day), environmental deprivation (75% of the earth’s land is degraded) and low productivity (global productivity has increased only .5% in the past decade) are key issues. To have a sense of the magnitude of today’s urbanization, realize that accommodating the increased population will require the construction of a city of a million every week for the next forty years – mainly in Asia and Africa. The speed with which city growth is occurring is overwhelming places’ abilities to provide formal employment and core services both necessary to achieve sustainable urban development. Dealing with mounting concerns with be a central task that city and regional planners will confront in the next decades. In 2019, UN Habitat, the focal point for sustainable urban development at the UN recently developed its 2020-2025 Strategic Plan. It diagnosed the issues related to urbanization and the associated opportunities as follows: Urbanization is one of the global mega-trends of our time, unstoppable and irreversible. In 30 years, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. NInety per cent of urban growth will occur in less developed regions such as East Asia, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa at a rapid pace and in situations where capacities and resources are most constrained and development challenges are most intense. Urbanization in these parts of the world is largely unplanned, fueling the continuous growth of informal or slum settlements. Unchecked and unplanned urban sprawl and inequality are universal concerns, both within cities and across territories; over 75 per cent of the world’s cities grew more unequal over the past 20 years. Although the world has made significant progress in reducing poverty since 2000, inequality is rising in the cities of both the developing and developed world. Today, the gap between the rich and the poor in most countries is at its highest levels in 30 years; the global one per cent earners captured twice as much of that growth as the 50 per cent poorest.1 In developing countries, slums and informal settlements, which currently accommodate close to 1 billion people, are the physical manifestation of urban poverty and inequality. About 2.3 billion people still lack access to basic sanitation service in 2015 and 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water worldwide. Fewer than 35 per cent of the cities in developing countries have their waste water treated. Moreover, today, 1.6 billion people globally live in inadequate housing and often do not have security of tenure. It is clear that climate change is one of the greatest challenges that cities must contend with, as indicated in the Paris agreement. Cities account for 60 to 80 per cent of energy consumption and generate as much as 70 per cent of the human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the consumption of fossil fuels for energy supply and transportation. Climate change projections predict significant impacts on human development progress within just a few decades. Urgent and radical action to transform urban systems is required well before 2030 to contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. Urban areas also absorb significant climate risks and must be prepared to withstand the climatic extremes currently predicted with 3 to 4 degrees of global warming. The current economic model of investment, consumption and growth also drives the exploitative extraction of the planet's natural assets. Urban development is increasingly occupying land that was previously used for forestry and/or food production, at the same time the growing population's demand for food, timber products, biomass for heating etc. is increasing. Urbanization has not completed a full transition away from fossil-fueled energy, resulting in extensive air pollution which damages the health of vulnerable groups of people, particularly children and the elderly. The shift to a greener and more resource efficient economy is still in nascent stages. Migration adds complexity to the numerous issues, cities and other human settlements must deal with. Currently, there are 763 million internal migrants and 224 million international migrants in the world.6 This means that every seventh person in the world is a migrant. Most of these migrants are found in urban areas. Refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in particular require special attention in the overall context of sustainable urbanization. Today there are 25 million refugees and 40 million IDPs who have fled conflict and crisis. The majority are not in humanitarian camps but seek refuge in cities.7 Gender-based discrimination persist in many parts of the world, and challenges associated with children, youth and older persons are growing. As the world witnesses an increased feminization of poverty, women make up a large proportion of the informal sector of employment in cities and are disproportionately affected by limited access to safe places of work, education, skills, resources and technology. Poverty, humanitarian crises, and conflict are becoming increasingly urban phenomena. Rural areas do not benefit from overall growth, feeding a continuous rural-urban migration. Despite the challenges, urbanization is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for change at all levels and all types of human settlements, from small rural communities, villages, and market towns, to intermediate cities and metropolises. Research now shows that urbanization can have a positive catalytic impact on development and deliver improved living conditions to the furthest behind. Cities and towns can help drive the sustainable agenda across social and cultural change, environmental protection and economic growth as the principles of the circular economy are embraced. Contributing about 80 per cent of global GDP, cities function as catalysts, driving innovation, consumption, and investment worldwide, making them a positive and potent force for addressing issues related to poverty, social exclusion and spatial inequality, shared prosperity, climate and the environment, and various forms of crisis. Most importantly, sustainable urban transformation presents an opportunity to work with all types of actors and communities, particularly those traditionally excluded from such processes Between 2015 and 2016, the 193 members of the United Nations approved five global agreements to deal with development issues that are of great importance to city and regional planners. These agreements, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015), Addis Ababa Action Agenda (2015), Transforming Our World, Agenda 2030 (2015), Paris Agreement (2015), and New Urban Agenda (2016), represent a worldwide consensus to frame current and future development policies over the next decades. Each will require significant efforts in aligning national and subnational programs and their financing. In fact, estimates for the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (a proxy for core service provision) calls for some $4.5 trillion/year in investment for the next 15 years. In this class, students will explore the agreements, their underlying theoretical concepts, their evolution, and their implementation. They will focus on the explicit and implicit urban implications and the challenges faced by subnational governments in coming to grips with integrating aspirational goals with political and economic realities of their specific contexts. In particular, the students will pursue two critical questions: 1.) How can a city or region achieve transformative change? That many strategies exist is common knowledge, but how to apply them locally is a matter of politics, economics, and capacity. 2.) How can a city recognize and incorporate informality in its approaches service delivery and economic development? That informality requires new policy attention is captured in two key data points: • informal workers constitute 50-80% of the workers in the Global South; producing 25-50% of Global South’s GDP (World Resources Institute 2018). • some one billion people currently live in informal settlements (UN Habitat 2018). While students, in pursuing these questions, will identify and critically examine gaps in the agreements (e.g. a lack of attention to how to achieve balanced territorial development; the absence of disaggregated data necessary to diagnose and monitor issues; the dearth of significant references to worldwide migration patterns and their humanitarian impact), they will spend a good deal of time discussing how planners might use their expertise to contribute to solutions to the identified issues."
