Description

This book deliberates the trends, challenges and potential strategies including urban blue-green infrastructure (BGI) approaches to ensure food security and disaster resilience across the globe. Furthermore, the book explores urban planning (both engineering and social aspects), resource management and financing the BGI approaches in developed and developing countries. Urbanization can have both positive and negative impacts on agriculture and aquaculture. It often leads to changes in land use, increased competition for resources and shifts in market dynamics. Due to the increasing urbanization across the globe, the cultivable agricultural land is decreasing, which threatens the food supply for the growing global population and increases the disaster occurrence in urban areas. The city dwellers are the most vulnerable in terms of food security and climate disaster resilience due to the rapid urbanization across the globe. However, the impact of urbanization is not the same for the urban areas in developed and developing countries. Although food security and climate disaster resilience are critical issues facing urban areas, an urban blue-green infrastructure approach can help address these challenges. This approach combines elements of both natural and built environments to create more sustainable and resilient cities. Adopting such an approach can enhance food security and climate disaster resilience by integrating nature-based solutions into urban planning and design. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academia, policymakers and development practitioners.
