Cities Confronted with Climate Change : How to Break the Infernal Loop of their Coevolution to avoid Future Disasters ?

Résumé

The development of strategies to reduce vulnerability and increase adaptation to global changes has become a major challenge for sustainable urban development, but urban vulnerability and adaptation are not easy concepts to understand. The objective of this study is to review the dialectic relations between vulnerability and adaptation and to show how integrating vulnerability perception into local urban management induces a chain of complex processes. There will be unwanted backwards loops appearing within this chain. This may explain that the willingness of cities to adapt to climate change can, far from the objective pursued to reduce their vulnerability, create on the contrary the conditions of future catastrophic events.
