Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Climate-Resilient Urban Planning: A Case Study of Smart City Development in Southeast Asia
Keywords:
Climate Resilience, Cross-Disciplinary Approaches, Governance, Smart CitiesAbstract
This study explores the intersection of cross-disciplinary approaches to urban planning, smart city development, and climate resilience in Southeast Asia. With the growing impacts of climate change, cities in the region face significant challenges in integrating technology and climate adaptation strategies. The aim of this research is to investigate how urban planners, policymakers, and local communities collaborate to foster climate-resilient smart cities. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research examines urban planning practices in Singapore, Jakarta, and Bangkok through interviews, document analysis, and field observations. The findings reveal that while Singapore demonstrates effective cross-sectoral coordination, Jakarta and Bangkok struggle with fragmented institutional structures, hindering comprehensive climate resilience. Despite these challenges, informal civic-tech collaborations and community-driven initiatives offer promising avenues for adaptation. The study concludes that successful climate-resilient smart cities require integrated governance frameworks, inclusive participation, and long-term strategic planning. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of how interdisciplinary collaboration can enhance urban resilience in the face of climate change and offers valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners in rapidly urbanizing regions.
