Selection support framework fostering resilience based on neighbourhood typologies

Abstract

Selecting climate adaptation measures through a straightforward approach: that is possible with the selection support framework presented in this paper. The framework results from Dutch urban design studies aiming to adapt to climate change. The framework includes adaptation measures for eight neighbourhood typologies on the scale of a street, square or building block. Numerous case studies provided input for the selection support framework. Based on this scientific work the framework provides an easy indication of climate adaptation opportunities, with focus on heat, and can be adapted to fit typical neighbourhoods in any country. The selection support framework enables urban professionals to select a set of climate adaptation solutions tailored to typical characteristics of a neighbourhood typology.
