Abstract

It is a well - known fact that there is a cause - effect relationship between climate change and urban areas, Several studies state that urban areas represent unfavourable climate characteristics compared to their surroundings because of their spatial planning and design failures. New urban planning and design approaches adopt innovative techniques to make cities more resilient to the impacts of climate change on one side. On the other side, cities all over the world prepare mitigation and or adaptation strategies with national or international supports to survive in the future climatic conditions. This review study evaluates the studies in literature conducted on climate adaptation and mitigation applications in cities all around the world in recent years. Some suggestions are presented in the light of the findings.
