In many developing countries with unplanned urbanization, urban poor people settle along riverbanks, near reservoirs, and in protected areas and conservation reserves. Urban flood adaptation then mostly focuses on providing more space for water, to reduce flood impacts, which leads to space contestation. Findings from the Jakarta case study from the project Transformative Adaptation to Climate Change in Coastal Cities illustrate the social justice implications of adaptation policies in the context of urban informality, and highlight the pivotal role of inclusive urban planning in reducing future climate risks and enabling transformative adaptation.
UNRISD Research and Policy Briefs aim to improve the quality of development dialogue. They situate the Institute’s research within wider social development debates, synthesize its findings and draw out issues for consideration in decision-making processes. They provide this information in a concise format that should be of use to policy makers, scholars, activists, journalists and others.
