• Part I: Understanding Climate Perceptions and Urbanisation. 1. Climate Change, Urbanisation, and Political Perspectives. 2. Political Bias in Climate Change Perception. 3. Public Perceptions of Peri-Urban Climate Risks. Part II: Localised Climate Risk and Urban Exposure. 4. Peri-Urbanisation and Climate Vulnerability Dynamics. 5. Anthropogenic Climate Change in Urban Landscapes. Part III: Methods and Mapping Urban Heat Vulnerability. 6. Assessment Methods for Urban Heat Vulnerability. 7. Trends in Heat Vulnerability Research. 8. Machine Learning and Remote Sensing Approaches. 9. Urban Heat Vulnerability and Spatial Inequity. 10. AI-Based Mapping of Urban Vulnerability.

Climate Urbanism and Vulnerability advances an integrated systems framework linking public climate perceptions with urban growth, peri-urban transformation, and spatially explicit vulnerability mapping. By embedding social theory within geospatial analytics, remote sensing, and AI-enabled methods, the book provides a rigorous foundation for analysing and managing climate risk in a rapidly urbanising world.Professor Xinyue Ye, University of Alabama, USAAddressing rapidly escalating global climate risks, this book offers a clear lens on urban vulnerability, a gateway to interdisciplinary understanding of complex urban systems, and a roadmap for intelligent innovations in future urban governance. Tan Yigitcanlar delivers a compelling vision for next-generation cities aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.Professor Zhen Wang, Chief Technical Advisor, UNDPAn outstanding and deeply integrative work, Climate Urbanism and Vulnerability redefines how urban climate vulnerability is understood by uniting public perception, political context, and cutting-edge AI-based spatial analysis. It offers rare conceptual clarity and practical insight, making it an essential reference for advancing equitable, evidence-driven responses to urban heat in a warming world.Professor Zhaohui Lin, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
