Climate change and the resilence of new Orléans : The adaptation of deltaic urban form

27 avril 2023

This paper focuses on emergent trends and ecosystem ―shocks‖, including climate change and hurricanes, along with resultant policies and practice that represent ecosystem adaptation, social-ecological learning, adaptive land use, mitigation, and governance. The role of urban form in adapting to and mitigating global warming will be explicitly addressed. A review of current structural and non-structural urban and coastal land use challenges and opportunities, with a special focus on the integrated New Orleans and coastal Louisiana ecosystems, will be of particular value to urban planners and local institutions dealing with climate change at the metropolitan scale.
