interest and participation of the wider community of urban researchers
and practitioners. We were encouraged by the symposium’s success, which
exceeded many expectations, and therefore wish to further disseminate its
results. Th is publication is comprised of an edited selection of the many
papers submitted to the symposium and gives a fl avor of the questions asked
and possible answers. (Th e entire collection of symposium papers is available
as an online resource for interested readers.) We look forward to the benefi ts
that the knowledge gained and the partnerships forged during the symposium
will have for global eff orts on cities and climate change.
