Abstract
This chapter aims to stimulate a new way of thinking about urban development using examples from Central and Eastern European (CEE) cities. It suggests to integrate common approaches in urban development with measures of climate change adaptation. This chapter also recommends to employ a systems thinking approach of mapping interdependencies between elements of the urban system to identify the most rewarding measures that satisfy both the needs of urban development and climate change adaptation. By addressing these needs simultaneously, synergies can be realized.
