SUMMARY:IURD Visiting Scholars Roundtable: Floods\, Risk Perception and Land-use Planning: Applying Urban Resilience Thinking to Spatial Planning – Gains and Trade-offs for Climate Change Adaptation Strategies

DESCRIPTION:Sonja Deppisch\, Dr.\, Head research group plan B:altic\, HafenCity University Hamburg\, Germany\n\nIn the discussion on how to deal with future climate change impacts in spatial planning\, the idea of urban and regional resilience as well as social-ecological resilience attracts increasing attention. Within this presentation\, resilience is understood as the capacity of an urban region to absorb climatic stimuli and their effects and to reorganize as to maintain and further develop / transform the essential social and ecological functional and structural properties\, while undergoing change (Walker\, Salt 2006\; Walker et al. 2004\; Holling 2003\; Berkes et al. 2003). \n\n\nThe resilience thinking approach is considered as useful for tackling the challenges future climate change impacts pose on current decisions on land-use within spatial planning. This is due to its emphasis on complexity (uncertainty\, emergence\, nescience) and learning to live with change and to take on a perspective of social and ecological interdependencies. Also\, climate change is characterized through complexity due to its epistemological distance and hybrid character of a biophysical and a discursively constructed phenomenon.\n\nThis presentation relates resilience thinking to spatial planning within the context of strategies to deal with climate change impacts in urban regions. Potential gains as well as trade-offs that might occur through applying this perspective as an analytical tool as well as a guiding principle or metaphor are discussed and related to the challenges climate change imposes to planning ethics. \n\nThe findings are based on theoretical and conceptual thoughts and informed by (still ongoing) case studies in Stockholm (Sweden) and Rostock (Germany) as well as an ongoing transdisciplinary research process together with stakeholder and planning practitioners in the urban region of Rostock (Germany).
