General Observations
•Rapid urban growth and climate change are global challenges that are converging in dangerous ways.
•Resilience and adaption are taken serious, but not serious enough in key urban expansion decisions.
•Local action and implementation is happening.
•Increasing collaboration among different actors (sessions, publications, initiatives, projects …).
•More integration of sectors and approaches.
