Spatial Adaptive Policy Pathways for Climate Adaptation Planning

Case Study Haven-Stad, Amsterdam

Climate change requires the integration of climate adaptation in the development and preservation of urban areas. However, the current spatial design and planning practice is not well adapted to the uncertainties associated with climate change and does not go far enough to consider the long-term future. In this article, the Spatial Adaptive Policy Pathways approach is introduced as an approach to support climate adaptation planning.
