Urban resilience and building resilience are “hot topics” of research and practice on sustainability in the context of climate change. The edited volume advances the “state of art” of urban resilience research through focusing on three important processes of building resilience: knowledge integration, implementation, and learning. In the volume, knowledge integration primarily refers to the combination of specialized knowledge domains (e.g., flood risk management and urban planning). Implementation refers to realized specific changes of the building stock and related green, blue and grey infrastructures at local level (e.g., for dealing with rising temperatures and heat waves at the neighborhood scale in cities). Learning requires moving beyond single projects and experiments of resilience to enhance sustainability at city and regional scale. The editors adopt an interdisciplinary approach to this volume of the Springer series on resilience. The volume includes contributions from civilengineering, physical geography, the social sciences, and urban planning.

Die Enquete-Kommission "Schutz des Menschen und der Umwelt" hat mit den ehrgeizigen Zielen, die Flächenausweisung bis 2010 auf 10 v. H. der Anfang der neunziger Jahre bestehenden Ausweisung zu reduzieren, sowie die Versiegelung auf dem jetzigen Stand einzufrieren, neue Maßstäbe für den Umgang mit Flächen gesetzt. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit drei möglichen Instrumenten, diese Ziele zumindest ansatzweise umzusetzen. Die drei Instrumente sind handelbare Flächenausweisungsrechte, ein modifizierter kommunaler Finanzausgleich und eine als Flächennutzungsteuer reformierte Grundsteuer.
