Abstract :

Climate change is emerging as one of the most important challenges for cities in the world. Increasing temperatures, flooding, droughts, rising sea levels and extreme weather events are impacting urban infrastructure, public health and social stability. Cities are especially vulnerable due to their high population density, intricate infrastructure networks and increasing environmental pressures. Meanwhile, creating climate-resilient cities has emerged as a critical global challenge. Climate resilience is an approach to continuity of function in urban systems based on the adaptation of these systems against climate challenges: preparing, responding and recovering from climate-related risks. In this research paper, we identify a methodology to create climate-resilient cities by examining the interface between three key academic and professional domains: environmental engineering, urban sociology, public administration. Explanation: Environmental engineering : Technological solutions like sustainable water management, green infrastructure, renewable energy systems and pollution control. Urban sociology is the branch of sociology that focuses on the interaction between human societies and urbanized environments, particularly in terms of properties such as inequality, social vulnerability and public participation with regard to environmental decision-making.
