Integrating Social Science Perspectives into Future Climate-City Research and Urban Planning Models

Climate-city research often prioritizes technical data, yet social dynamics are critical for effective urban adaptation. This study explores how interdisciplinary approaches can better incorporate human behavior into climate-resilient city planning.
