Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Critically discussing different perspectives, innovations and approaches, this book looks at how digital technology and new strategies can be used to build stronger city resilience in a time of dramatic climate change. The authors assess Sustainable Development Goal 9 for Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and identify three key areas that impact urban resilience, namely policy, technology and wellbeing.
Looking to the future, chapters address the most common and intractable challenges in the field and suggest practical solutions, emphasising global governance, digital innovation and a human-centered orientation toward safety, well-being and equity. Authors analyse a wide range of case studies on national hazards including cooling strategies for tackling urban heat in Singapore, enhanced wildfire management in Canada and the United States and ‘Sponge City’ design in China.
Resilient Cities under Global Climate Change is a valuable reference point for students and scholars of urban and regional studies, human geography and city planning. Its practical guidance and focus on actionable solutions benefit practitioners and policymakers in city planning and management.
