| Résumé : |
"Based on a major international study, this volume provides a synthesis of scientific knowledge on the urbanisation processes, environmental impacts, and policy response options, and disaster risk management challenges that are associated with coastal megacity development. It is the primary output of a major international scientific project sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, the Land-Ocean Interactions at the Coastal Zone programme of IHDP/IGBP and others. It brings together the work of over 60 contributing authors and an international review board. This volume presents the international policy and academic community with an unbiased and high-quality assessment of social–ecological systems interaction in coastal megacities. One of its main messages is that while we know a great deal about
megacities of more than ten million people and about urban processes, and about coasts and their physical and ecological processes (aquatic, physical and atmospheric), there is relatively little work that focuses primarily at points of intersection between these. The book responds to this gap by providing the first global synthesis of megacity and large urban region urbanisation on the coast. Its focus is on environmental and development challenges, climate change and disaster. It is interdisciplinary and brings together world-recognised scientists (including many IPCC lead authors) on urban climate and atmosphere, disaster risk management, demography and coastal environments". |
