Island Press (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
Given the realities of climate change and sea-level rise, coastal cities around
the world are struggling with questions of resilience. Resilience, at its core,
is about desirable states of the urban social-ecological system and
understanding how to sustain those states in an uncertain and tumultuous future.
How do physical conditions, ecological processes, social objectives, human
politics, and history shape the prospects for resilience? Most books set out
"the answer." This book sets out a process of grappling with holistic resilience
from multiple perspectives, drawing on the insights and experiences of more than
fifty scholars and practitioners working together to make Jamaica Bay in New
York City an example
