Abstract

The significance of bottom-up approaches initiated by civil society as well as the importance of the local level as the level for implementation is often overlooked when dealing with megacity developments. The main aim of this volume is to trace participatory and local action approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation in six case studies. By bringing together experiences gained from pilot projects and action research, the volume narrates the “stories behind” co-operation processes, illustrates ingenuous results and lessons learnt, and formulates recommendations for future participatory field research and realisation of urban development projects.
