“…This not only helps decrease environmental impact but also enhances climate resilience (Chirisa et al, 2016). Therefore, it has a crucial function in the development of cities that are more resistant, energy-efficient, habitable, and ecologically sustainable (Pratt, 2023).…”

This article uses the PRISMA systematic review method to identify the challenges and opportunities of urban planning in Africa, with a focus on climate change. The article emphasizes the importance of sustainable financing, transparent management, and effective governance. It also highlights financial difficulties, privatization, short political cycles, and institutional limitations as some of the key challenges that need to be addressed. Cultural, religious, and socio-economic influences on awareness of green infrastructure are examined, advocating for the promotion of environmental awareness and education. Climate risks threaten the sustainability of green infrastructure, necessitating resilient planning. Legal gaps hinder urban planning implementation, underscoring the need for appropriate legal frameworks. Coordination between government levels and long-term vision is essential to addressing political and administrative challenges. Overall, the article suggests sustainable, human-centered approaches and effective resource management for balanced urban development in Africa. It also emphasizes a holistic approach and ongoing collaboration for sustainability.

“…Without clear implementation strategies, people who are marginalized and lack resources or political capital are left to face adaptation and resilience challenges without the express support of their local government (Anguelovski et al 2016, Rice et al 2022, Pratt 2023. For instance, climate gentrification is one such injustice that adaptation may catalyze.…”

As cities continue to prepare for climate change by developing adaptation plans, previous research has examined the content, creation, and considerations of equity and justice in these plans, particularly across United States cities. Climate adaptation activities create the potential for undue harm on marginalized populations, therefore it is important to understand the state of knowledge on equitable climate adaptation as cities begin implementing their plans. We conducted a scoping review of 15 journal articles on equitable adaptation in United States cities to document theoretical frameworks used and major findings. Studies included in our sample primarily used three different theoretical frameworks, including environmental justice theory, neoliberal urban governance, or just sustainabilities, to analyze how plans were created and their contents. Studies we analyzed indicate that cities were successful at identifying problems or challenges but struggled with articulating how to best engage residents and community members or to grapple with systemic issues. We also developed best practices for adaptation based on recommendations from the studies: have clear implementation guidelines, invest in frontline communities, regulate the private sector, work with community-based organizations, and develop regional planning initiatives. Overall, the state of knowledge is such that cities have taken the first step of creating adaptation plans, but how these plans are implemented will make the true difference for equitable outcomes.
