It provides a unique and innovative resource for the latest developments in the field, nurturing a comprehensive and encompassing publication venue for urban studies, urban geography, planning and regional development. The series publishes peer-reviewed volumes related to urbanization, sustainabil- ity, urban environments, sustainable urbanism, governance, globalization, urban and sustainable development, spatial and area studies, urban management, transport systems, urban infrastructure, urban dynamics, green cities and urban landscapes. It also invites research which documents urbanization processes and urban dynamics on a national, regional and local level, welcoming case studies, as well as comparative and applied research. The series will appeal to urbanists, geographers, planners, engineers, architects, policy makers, and to all of those interested in a wide-ranging overview of contemporary urban studies and innovations in the field. It accepts monographs, edited volumes and textbooks. Now Indexed by Scopus! More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/14773 Zoé A. Hamstead • David M.

We would like to thank all of the contributors to this volume, for sharing their conceptual and method- ological frameworks that guide urban practice toward creating resilient and equitable urban futures. We are indebted to Lanika Sanders and Rakshanda Nagaraj, who carefully administered the process of compiling and copy-editing this work and without whom we would not have kept our deadlines. Twenty peer reviewers, including a student review panel, helped to improve the quality of the chapter manuscripts. The leadership and mentorship of Nancy Grimm and Chuck Redman have been invaluable to this project. In particular, their support of junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows and student trainees activated a substantial cohort of inter- disciplinary researchers in cultivating an international community of practice around building more resilient and equitable futures. Far too many people to name co-created and participated in future scenarios workshops in Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Hermosillo, Mexico; Miami, Florida, USA; New York, New York, USA; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Portland, Oregon, USA; Syracuse, New York, USA; San Juan, Puerto Rico, USA; and Valdivia, Chile. Over 220 practitioners and 180 researchers from 21 institutions in these cities dedicated their creativity, time, and expertise to building the resilience, future, and city-making knowledge base docu- mented in this volume. We are grateful to the National Science Foundation which supported the UREx SRN via grant no. SES 1444755, GCR-1934933 (SETS Convergence) as well as the Long-Term Ecological Research Program Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) DEB-1637661, the Central Arizona-Phoenix (CEB-1637590) and the Chilean Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation Ministry of Chile (CONICYT-FONDECYT 3150290). Finally, we are grateful to our families for their support, kindness, not to mention patience with our travel schedules. They provide the grounding for this challenging, important work in building more equitable and resilient urban futures in the face of climate change. v Contents 1 A Framework for Resilient Urban Futures ................... 1 David M.
