Abstract

Macleod Bwambale

Urban areas worldwide are facing increasing challenges posed by climate change. The escalating impacts of extreme weather events, rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns demand a comprehensive approach to ensure the ecological resilience of cities. This article delves into the concept of urban ecological resilience and explores strategies to navigate its enhancement in the context of climate change. Through a review of key literature, case studies and innovative initiatives, the article highlights the importance of integrating natural ecosystems, sustainable infrastructure, community engagement and policy frameworks to build urban resilience. The synthesis of these strategies can guide urban planners, policymakers and communities toward creating adaptable and sustainable cities that thrive in the face of climate challenges.
