Mainstreaming Climate Resilience In Local Land Use Planning: Case Study In Penang Malaysia

Cities grow through the mainstreaming of climate resilience, which is an approach linking land use planning and sustainable development goals by integrating climate change information. It also concerns the existing development planning, policies, and decision-making processes. However, a gap exists...
