Climate-resilient urban development: analyzing global approaches through a systematic literature review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study conducts a systematic literature review on climate-resilient urban development, examining governance frameworks, participatory planning, and technological advancements in adaptation strategies. Thirty-eight peer-reviewed articles from Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Emerald Insight have been analyzed. The study identifies key theoretical models and policy frameworks shaping urban resilience. Findings show a shift from conceptual resilience frameworks (2014–2017) to empirical, data-driven governance models (2018–2024), with an increasing role of digital simulation, GIS-based risk assessments, and nature-based solutions. Participatory governance emerges as crucial, with bottom-up approaches yielding higher success rates. The research on the Global South remains limited, necessitating localized governance models and further integration of smart city technologies. This review offers policymakers and urban planners valuable insights to enhance climate adaptation strategies in rapidly urbanizing regions.
