Urban Resilience : Lessons on Urban Environmental Planning from Turkey / by Salata, Stefano, author 656088, Emerald Publishing Limited (Online service) 646680

“…What is resilience? What does it mean practically to design resilient cities? Demonstrating that the expansion of the ecological footprint of urban areas is no longer sustainable, Stefano Salata underscores that authentic resilience in urban planning necessitates embracing the reduction and de-sealing of urban surfaces, which he advocates for as the sole viable means of confronting the challenges posed by climate change. …”
