Abstract: This volume, *Responding to Climate Change in Asian Cities*, examines governance mechanisms and knowledge systems shaping urban resilience in Asia, with comparative insights from cities like New York. As urbanization increases, Asian cities face climate risks such as flooding and heatwaves. The book explores the roles of stakeholders—governments, NGOs, businesses, and communities—and their influence on climate adaptation strategies. It highlights the importance of integrating scientific and local knowledge in building resilience. Offering practical guidance for policymakers and urban planners, the book reflects on improving governance to address climate challenges and foster sustainable, resilient urban futures globally.
