Urban Planning and Resilient Infrastructure provides the analytical framework planners, policy professionals, and administrators need to understand and address these converging pressures. - Understand how systems thinking reframes urban infrastructure from discrete assets to interdependent networks where failure cascades across sectors - Analyze climate risk assessment methodologies and their translation into capital programming and land-use planning decisions - ...

Your home was built for a climate that no longer entirely exists—and the gap is growing. Extreme heat waves, flooding in areas that never flooded before, wildfire smoke that reaches across an entire continent, power outages that last not hours but days: these are not future concerns. They are happening now, in neighborhoods like yours, to homeowners just like you. The Climate-Resilient Home is the practical, step-by-step guide you have been looking for—one that skips the political debate and the survival-bunker extremism and gets straight to the question that actually matters: What can ...
