| Abstract | "Cities across the world are facing a convergence of environmental risks, from flooding and extreme heat events to air pollution and water scarcity. These threats are increasingly uneven in their impacts and deeply shaped by local geography. This book offers a practical, accessible guide to understanding and responding to these threats using open-source geographic information systems (GIS) and freely available spatial data. Through real world case studies the author discus each risk separately to meet the needs of decision-making when urban threats happen"-- Provided by publisher. |
