Resilient and Adaptive Tokyo
Towards Sustainable Urbanization in Perspective of Food-energy-water Nexus
Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)
This book presents a collection of evidence/science-based decisions and policy-making by using Tokyo as the focal area. It visualizes the stock and flow of the Food-Water-Energy (FEW) supporting the world's largest metropolitan area; explores how the actors have worked together to secure the resilience and sustainability of resources; demonstrates the potential of resources in making the city adaptive to climatic and social changes. Our cities, and the systems that support them, have not been designed to address the FWE nexus. There exist gaps in awareness of the role and impacts of climate change. Improving communication among stakeholders with the support of scientific evidence is the key to narrowing the gaps. This book approached this issue with a multi-disciplinary and transdisciplinary moveable nexus approach through the lens of FEW nexus and practiced in 6 cities under the Sustainable Urbanization Global Initiative of Belmont Forum. Through the practices, a design-led methodology with three modules is developed and tested for urban FEW management in cities. The three modules are the design method, evaluation tool, and participation mechanism and the results are presented in the book with unique recommendations for sustainable urbanization and optimum resource conservation. This book is designed for researchers in urbanization, Nexus research, urban design research, environment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change studies, and can be used as a textbook for university courses. It is also a useful tool for practitioners and policymakers in applying collective knowledge to policy and decision-making.weiterlesen
