ABSTRACT
Climate change impacts are now well documented and technological advancement has led to a clearer understanding of future risks and impacts. With increasing urbanization, understanding the impacts of climate change upon the urban environment will become ever more important. Evidence is mounting that climate change presents unique challenges for urban areas and their growing populations. Where urban areas grow rapidly without regard to current and future resource demands and climate change, large numbers of people and their assets can find themselves vulnerable to a range of disruptive and damaging risks.
