Abstract

Climate change adaptation is local and place-based. Local places are often heterogeneous with respect to a number of elements that include geography, infrastructure, culture, economics, politics, and ethnicity. Neighborhoods in large cities and metropolitan complexes reflect this diversity. Thus, it seems to us that climate change adaptation planning should take into account the peculiarities, vulnerabilities, and assets for building resilience of each neighborhood. We suggest that neighborhood climate change adaptation plans should be developed through a consensus seeking, participatory process in collaboration with and guided by a comprehensive city-wide planning process. We examine the city of Boston, Massachusetts in this light.
