ARCADIA: Adaptation and Resilience in Cities: Analysis and Decision making using Integrated Assessment
Prof. Jim Hall, Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford
AIM: To provide system-scale understanding of the inter-relationships between climate impacts, the urban economy, land use, transport and the built environment and to use this understanding to design cities that are more resilient and adaptable.
Objectives:
-
To develop methods for generating of city-scale climate change scenarios that are consistent with UKCP09.
- To develop and demonstrate new methods to analyse the interactions between climate impacts and the regional and urban economy.
- To analyse the relationship between the spatial configuration of cities and their resilience to climate impacts.
- To provide decision support tools for adaptation of urban areas, and to work with stakeholders to demonstrate how these tools can be used to develop strategies for transitions to resilience at a city scale.
