Urban Flood Resilience Networks
Coastal cities facing growing flood risks are increasingly focused on resilience. Academic and policy discourse present a resilience-based approach to governing hazards as more collaborative, better connecting threats, systems, and actors. Literature on governance networks, collaborative governance, and networks of plans suggests collaboration enhances resilience, but empirical studies of the relationship between governance networks, networks of …
Who collaborates on urban resilience? An analysis of flood resilience planning networks in four coastal cities
Cities are increasingly focused on building resilience. The literature on urban resilience governance emphasizes the importance of breaking down organizational silos and fostering collaboration between diverse actors. Yet few studies empirically examine whether existing resilience governance networks possess these theorized characteristics. This paper addresses this gap by focusing on flood resilience governance in four major U.S. cities and uses…
Planning to Exacerbate Flooding
In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey inundated Houston, Texas, where flooding already was a persistent and growing challenge. Coordinated, proactive land-use planning has been shown to help mitigate flooding hazards, whereas conflicting guidance can exacerbate the problem. This study used the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard (PIRS) method to spatially evaluate a network of plans guiding land use and development in western Houston when Harvey…
Integrated infrastructure-plan analysis for resilience enhancement of post-hazards access to critical facilities
Institutional congruence for resilience management in interdependent infrastructure systems
Is coastal adaptation a public good? The financing implications of good characteristics in coastal adaptation
Sea level rise poses a crisis for coastal communities. Many local governments have identified strategies to prepare for the impacts of sea level rise but often lack funding mechanisms. To date, the assumption that coastal adaptation is a public good has limited the tools used to finance responses to sea level rise. We argue that good characteristics - subtractability, excludability, heterogeneity, joint production, and capital intensity - combine…
City membership in climate change adaptation networks
Coordinating Plans for Climate Adaptation
Climate adaptation planning emphasizes the need for coordination across sectors and scales. To assess how adaptation is coordinated with multiple planning efforts in a community, I analyze plans in the City of Chester, Pennsylvania, USA. Multiple environmental plans and strategies align with adaptation efforts, but when policies from all plans are mapped, a clear conflict between redevelopment priorities and adaptation emerges. Land use plans pro…
Adaptation to Resilience Planning
Increasingly, local governments are creating resilience plans. What do these plans contain and how do they compare to other efforts to plan for climate change? We use plan evaluation to analyze 10 resilience plans from U.S. cities in the 100 Resilient Cites program and compare them to 44 climate change adaptation plans. Resilience plans lack critical elements to prepare cities for climate change but offer a platform to address economic, social, a…
