Planning to Cope with Tropical and Subtropical Climate Change
Editors: Maurizio Tiepolo, Enrico Ponte, Elena Cristofori
Publisher: De Gruyter Open, Warsaw & Berlin, 380p
The book is a collection of case studies in subtropical and tropical zones and considers different types of cities: large (over 1 million population), intermediate (0.1-1 million population), secondary (less than 0.1 million population). There are three sections: hazard, adaption planning and best practices.
Overall, 12 contexts are explored: large cities (Dar es Salaam, Niamey), intermediate cities (Caraguatatuba, Taberre, Zurich), secondary cities (Mekhe, Pragatinagar, Nawalparasi) and regions (Catalonia, Chaco, Gaza province, Piedmont, Reunion, Tillaberi). With the exception of Zurich, the case studies are divided equally between subtropical and tropical zones according to the Koppen-Geiger classification after the categories and subcategories studies of Trewartha.
