This course introduces students to major issues in urban resilience and adaptation planning, particularly in relation to anthropogenic climate change. By the end of the course, students will have: (1) a critical understanding of key concepts such as risk, vulnerability, adaptation, and resilience; (2) an understanding of the interaction between adaptation planning, policy, and urban operating systems such as infrastructures, finance, and land use governance; (3) a basic introduction to practical tools such as vulnerability mapping, urban carbon budgeting, and participatory vulnerability assessment. The course will primarily draw on case material from the United States and secondarily from selected international cases.
