“…In addition to understanding the city as a major generator of greenhouse gas that causes climate change [5,6], discussions on how the built environment influences surface or near-ground temperature in cities are moving ahead. Critics argue that these discussions help understand how the planning of cities shape urban climate [7][8][9][10][11][12] to adapt to the rising temperatures, mitigate any negative impacts, and in the long term build resilience [13][14][15].…”

Abstract:There is a growing interest in understanding how the built environment affects temperature in cities. This study explores the impact of land use on temperature and how it varies by season and time of day in Seoul, South Korea. Unlike other studies that rely on extracted data from remotely sensed information, this study uses land use data from local GIS and near-ground temperature data from a network of state-run weather stations. To deal with multicollinearity among the land use variables, partial least squares regression models were used for analysis. Results suggest that residential and commercial uses and roads increase the temperature while open spaces decrease it. In detail, central commercial use, high-density residential use, and roads were influential heaters, while greenery was an influential cooler throughout the year. This study suggests the need for place-based planning and design solutions that help build climate resilience of cities.

“…The vision statement of Taipei City development is 'Livable and Sustainable Cityconstruct safe, convenient, ecological landscapes". Therefore, integration of the balanced scorecard and the strategies and targets for becoming the resilient city that will enhance good governance, even city planning [48] and adaptive management [49] and promote the partnership. Taipei City takes the comprehensive exploitation of resilience governance as development opportunity; it bases on conducting for diversified physical and nonphysical management and sets up credit and builds the suitable policy and actions plan for adaptation and mitigation.…”

Abstract:The climate change brought disaster impact to a city. Cities are complex and interdependent systems, extremely vulnerable to threats from both natural hazards and terrorism. A city resilience is the capacity of a city to function, so that citizens survive and thrive no matter what stresses or shocks they encounter. The cities need to be built for greater resilience and developed strategies for coping with the future shocks and stresses associated with climate change. This study explores that, from the concepts of city governance, the balanced scorecard correlates with city development in the process of city resilience development and constructs city resilience indicators to evaluate and the balanced scorecard raise the management performance. During the process of building the balanced scorecard, each problem can be faced and solved. To run the balanced scorecard is a continuous job and to become a resilient city coping with good city governance must adjust the balanced scorecard to meet its goals and vision to achieve sustainable development of the city.

“…The authors find that adaptation and mitigation projects often provide development co-benefits that go unrecognized. Mitchell et al (2015) define "climate-resilient development" as development that can handle climate-related shocks. The authors focus on land use planning and property rights as tools to address where urbanization occurs and secure land tenure.…”

This report presents the concept of the resilience dividend as a useful metric for community resilience planning. The report suggests defining the resilience dividend as the net co-benefit (or co-cost) of investing in enhanced resilience, in the absence of a disruptive incident. In order for this definition to be useful, the report reviews literature on co-benefits. The main lessons from this review are that: (1) there is no consensus on the use of the meaning of cobenefit; (2) much of the literature on co-benefits is focused on climate change; and (3) there exist opportunities for the development of co-benefit measurement and assessment methodologies in the context of resilience planning. This report provides guidance and direction on the study and use of the resilience dividend by categorizing the various definitions of co-benefits to provide a frame of reference, reviewing measurement and assessment efforts, and summarizing the review in an annotated bibliography that can serve as a "quick guide" for researchers and practitioners looking for existing work on co-benefits. The report also highlights potential directions for future research.
