Abstract

KEY MESSAGES: 1. Cities in developing countries are both the most vulnerable to climate change and the most viable solution to managing its impacts. 2. Urban density enables reduction in per capita emissions from infrastructure and services. 3. Access to local public goods and services aids resilience to environmental shocks and stressors. 4. Decisions about the city’s physical characteristics and infrastructure today will lock-in long-term consequences for the future.
