  3. 2. Reconnecting Gävle’s Delta : a post-industrial urban transformation project for Sweden’s coastal landscape

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Författare :Rachel Murray; [2023]
    Nyckelord :resilience; blue-green infrastructure; nature-based solutions; flooding; brownfield development; post-industrial urban development; landscape architecture; urban planning; climate adaptation; water-sensitive urban design; urban ecology;

    Sammanfattning : This speculative design-led research project addresses the challenges of transforming dilapidated post-industrial brownfield sites into thriving, sustainable, resilient urban neighbourhoods. Tasked with allocating urban growth, municipality planning departments increasingly look towards underused but centrally located industrial sites for future development. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hållbarthet: En prioriteringsfråga : En studie av Jönköpings kommuns planering av urbana vattenområden och vattennära bebyggelse

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/Högskolan för lärande och kommunikation

    Författare :Ellen Rohdin; Hanna Lindestam; [2023]
    Nyckelord :urban planning; sustainable development; waterfront areas; Jönköping municipality; sustainable urban planning development framework; climate adaptation;

    Sammanfattning : Adapting urban planning policies to upcoming effects of climate change is becoming increasingly important to municipalities all over the world. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how Jönköping municipality prioritizes sustainability dimensions in their planning of waterfront areas, as well as how they implement climate adaptation in their regulatory documents.

  5. 4. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :David Ebert; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  7. 5. Assessing the Practical Use of an Integrated Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation Approach: A Case Study on Bangladesh

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Pim Roupé; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Disaster Risk Reduction; Climate Change Adaptation; Disaster Management; Climate Change; Natural Hazards; Resilience;

    Sammanfattning : The ambition of this thesis is to fulfill two aims. The first aim is theory development, by presenting a theoretical framework where climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) are combined. The second aim is empirical, where the theoretical framework is used to analyze an example of DRR with an ambition to include CCA. LÄS MER
