CLIMATE CHANGE AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Lessons from Cape Town
M NEW, D SCOTT & H DAVIES (EDITORS)
The City of Cape Town is integrating climate change into its policy-making in response to rapid urbanisation and city-scale climatic changes. This book records progress made and challenges faced in mainstreaming climate change into urban policies, processes, programmes and practices, from environmental resource management and environmental safety to energy management and spatial planning. City officials and academics have collaborated to co-produce knowledge and co-write the chapters, giving an ‘insider’ view of urban development and climate change governance through the lens of theory.
