Climate change falls into theoretical and practical concerns of many disciplines ranging from natural to social sciences, engineering, urban planning, architecture and administrative sciences. Spatial planning can be an effective tool for climate mitigation and adaptation. Obviously, with regard to its spatial scale, the scope, content and form of the plan would vary in handling the phenomenon. For instance, while a strategic spatial plan would define a larger framework for climate sensitive action at regional and urban scales, an urban design scheme would describe building layout and codes for sun exposure, ventilation, shape and distribution of greenery, even the type of vegetation. It is important to take note that whatever the spatial scale is, planning for climate change should put an emphasis on energy efficiency, green infrastructure and sensible use of resources. A noteworthy approach in this regard is the use of urban climate maps that consist of significant guidelines for spatial planning. With the aim of understanding how local climatic conditions are paid attention in plan-making, the study first of all investigates this approach in different examples across the world. The second part, meanwhile, portrays the Turkish case. It elaborates the plan types in the Turkish planning system, and evaluates the climate-related perspective and content of these plan types. The study concludes with an evaluation of climate sensitive spatial planning, and reflects on how the plan types in Turkey can be improved in this respect.

Environmental Discourse: A Critical Analysis of Environmentalism in Architecture, Planning, Design, Ecology, Social Sciences and the Media
Teymur, Necdet (Middle East Technical Unicersity, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-4)
A Critical Analysis of "environmentalism" in Architecture, Planning, Design, Ecology, Social Sciences, and the Media
Towards eo-based sustainable urban planning and management
Marconcini, Mattia; Esch, Thomas; Chrysoulakis, Nektarios; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Tal, Abraham; Feigenwinter, Christian; Parlow, Eberhard (2013-07-26)
The increasing availability of Earth Observation (EO) technologies has provided new opportunities for a wide range of urban applications, such as mapping and monitoring of the urban environment, socio-economic estimations, characterization of urban climate, analysis of regional and global impacts and urban security and emergency preparedness. However, a gap exists between the research-focused results offered by the urban EO community and the application of these data and products by urban planners and decis...
Understanding the Links between Urban Regeneration and Climate Friendly Urban Development Lessons from Two Case Studies in Japan
Balaban, Osman (2014-01-01)
Urban regeneration policy and projects could facilitate the implementation of spatial policy responses to mitigate climate change and adapt to its consequences in cities. However, the potential role of urban regeneration in creating climate-friendly urban environments is not sufficiently evaluated and understood. Considering this gap, the paper aims to explore the potential linkage between urban regeneration and climate change. The case study analysis focuses on two urban regeneration projects, representing...
Problem Identification: Examining the Factors that Resulted in Islamabad's Unsustainable Development
Khurram, Amal; Aytekin, Erden Attila; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-7-7)
This thesis aims to study how policies, planning institutions, or unforeseen circumstances have factored in the creation of an unsustainable city, with a predominant focus on environmental unsustainability owing to urban sprawl. While keeping in mind globalization, rapid urbanization, (environmental) sustainability, and the characteristics of a dynamic city, this study aims to thoroughly examine the following two hypotheses, namely, unprecedented challenges and organizational and administrative problems wit...
Advancements in sustainable development of energy, water and environment systems
Kılkış, Şiir; Krajacic, Goran; Duic, Neven; Rosen, Marc A.; Al-Nimr, Moh'd Ahmad (2018-11-01)
The integration of sectors for more sustainable systems and processes provide a multi-disciplinary research domain to which researchers are contributing with intense motivation in the context of urgency for addressing global climate change. The 26 papers in the current special issue of the 12th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems represent a pursuit of excellence for leading related advancements. This editorial contains a review of these advances with a focus on th...
