Loss from flooding and hurricanes is an all too frequent occurrence in many countries in the Region, particularly in cities where people and assets are concentrated. Urban centers must be prepared with specialized tools to deal with climate change impacts and early warning systems.<br /> <br /> Moreover, given the potential devastation associated with future climate change-related disasters, it is vital to change the way we build and manage our cities, which account for 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions today.<br /> <br /> Now is the time for policymakers to take an integrated look at reducing vulnerabilities to climate change and other natural disasters in a comprehensive disaster management system.<br /> <br /> This Primer is a tool for city governments in the East Asia Region to better understand how to plan for climate change impacts and impending natural disasters through sound urban planning to reduce vulnerabilities.<br /> <br /> It gives local governments information to actively engage in training, capacity building, and capital investment programs that are identified as priorities for building sustainable, resilient communities.</div> &nbsp;</div> <b>Neeraj Prasad </b>is Lead Carbon Finance Specialist and deputy to the Manager of the Carbon Finance Unit at the World Bank.</div> &nbsp;</div> Type The nature or genre of the resource Autre Asia Asie changement climatique développement durable écologie mégapole Pacific Pacifique planification politique de la ville Prasad Neeraj risque naturel ville portuaire https://crevilles.org/files/original/3f5401943f344f0125c51f187c17bdc5.jpg bbac6d5180cc78e5eafe8ff113fc30eb Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

This collection of essays forms a useful, comprehensive and ambitious study, focusing on the region's specific urban concerns and on broader theoretical issues surrounding social and environmental conditions in major metropolitan centres.<br /> <br /> The first part of the book examines globalisation, foreign direct investment, international migration, and the question of cities and their changing patterns and meanings. The second part focuses on particular types of cities: Tokyo, Seoul and Taipei are post industrial capital exporting cities; Hong Kong and Singapore are cited as borderless cities; while Shanghai, Jabotabek and Bangkok are examined in terms of having very high globalisation driven growth but also have become highly polluted environments. The final section focuses on amenity cities, where Sydney and Vancouver are the two cases examined. These chapters demonstrate how environmental awareness can be part of urban growth and provide evidence that globalization is not promoting urban environmental and social sustainability.<br /> <br /> Globalization and the Sustainability of Cities in the Asia-Pacific Region demonstrates the growing interconnections among cities in the region that have come about as a result of globalization. It raises implications for the study of social and environmental conditions as well as economic growth in cities. Sustainable urban development requires more than good management and local politics; increasingly, it demands national, regional and global interventions.</div> &nbsp;</div> <b>Contents : </b></div> &nbsp;</div> Introduction - Peter J.
