Adaptation: Integrative Planning Framework for Adapted Land-Use Planning
- The adaptation of mega-urban regions and their landscapes to climate change is predominantly a spatial planning matter. Rapidly developing Asian megacities, like Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam, need to become more resilient and less vulnerable to climate change. Our contribution takes spatial planning as the starting point. It highlights opportunities and challenges for spatially-explicit adaptation strategies in HCMC and shows how adaptation to climate change can be used to influence land-use planning and future urban development. Special attention is given to urban water management issues. Here the focus lies on risk management and non-structural protection measures to lessen climate-related urban risks. For rapidly developing mega-urban regions the need for focused support and guidance in formulating and embedding suitable adaptation policies and spatially explicit zoning regulations is apparent. Within its multi-stakeholder environment borne out of conflicting interests, land use planning requires more than ever science-basedThe adaptation of mega-urban regions and their landscapes to climate change is predominantly a spatial planning matter.
