This book explores the central themes of creating equitable and sustainable cities and regions from the Sustainable Development Goals, i.e. climate action (how to manage and prevent the impacts of Climate Change), human development (how action against climate change can promote the human development goals such as limiting poverty), and social justice (how well-designed climate action can be used to address and reduce existing social inequities or prevent their worsening). Specifically, this book explores how novel financial technologies (e.g. fintech), as well as other disruptive innovations such as big data analysis and artificial intelligence, can be employed to address these issues in an urban and regional context.
