Today, as cities undergo rapid and dynamic transformations, riddled
with uncertainties about the future, the roles of urban planning and
urban planners lie in one of these new crossroad moments. Climate
change, urban migration, social inclusion, health emergencies and
financial and economic crises have elevated urbanization to newer
heights of complexity that can only be tackled by integrating a multitude
of scenarios, strategies and discourses, in order to create an urban
future that is resilient and sustainable.
Urban planners have come up with transition proposals and concepts
that they hope will be able to respond to cities challenges and ultimately
allow them to adapt and make the transition into more robust urban
areas.
This book presents and discusses various urban transition strategies,
action plans and programs that have been proposed or even conducted
in different countries all over the world. Different countries require
different strategies, but they all have the same goal in mind, each of
them trying to address urban complexities and cope with the rapid pace
at which the world is evolving.
