Abstract
For a successful transition of existing urban areas towards climate resilience, it is essential that macro level policies and conceptual approaches find their way to every street and neighbourhood through urban retrofit projects. This chapter illustrates how technology, research and urban design can assist and inform this transformation process towards climate resilient streets. It describes three important steps for improving the uptake of climate resilient design in practice:
-
1.
Implementation of design guidelines for climate resilience
-
2.
Show that climate resilient designs are possible, not complicated and affordable
-
3.
Show international examples from practice
These steps are presented by (a) a book of example climate resilient designs for characteristic urban typologies with life cycle costs analyses and (b) a worldwide climate mapping platform presenting many implemented projects. With guidelines implemented and the knowledge that climate adaptation is affordable and has been done before it should become evident that most urban reconstruction projects can and should be climate resilient projects.
