By drawing upon data from Urban Living Labs in six participating cities, including Eindhoven, Gdańsk, Miami, Southend-on-Sea, Taipei, and Uppsala, the book collaboratively defines context-specific challenges, leading to the compilation of an Integrated Decision Support System. This system serves as a valuable guide for enhancing robust decision-making in future urban development endeavors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book showcases valuable contributions from a transdisciplinary team of scholars and practitioners, known as CRUNCH, whose expertise encompasses urban climate modeling, food, water, and energy management, resilient public space design, improved urban data collection, and the development of smart city technology. While previous works on the Food-Water-Energy nexus have primarily focused on large-scale, transnational cases, this book takes a local approach, exploring how cities and communities can leverage the Food-Water-Energy nexus to enhance urban resilience. It offers practical and tangible ways in which cities and communities can improve efficiency and climate resilience by implementing small changes to their existing infrastructure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith over half of the world's population currently residing in urban areas, it is imperative that we prioritize the development of more resilient cities. This book serves as a valuable planning tool for decision-makers and concludes with policy recommendations, making it relevant to a wide range of audiences, including urbanists, environmentalists, architects, urban designers, city planners, students, and scholars interested in alternative approaches to sustainability and resilience.
