It focuses on main coastal provinces and regions, where multidisciplinary research shows how hydro-meteorological hazards (such as storm surges, flash floods, erosion) are reshaping both natural environments and human systems. Detailed physico-geomorphological modelling reveals dramatic rates of erosion and accretion, up to -34.5 m\/year on mangrove coastlines, versus -4 m\/year on sandy beaches, with projections of increased storm severity and flooding because of sea-level rise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\"\u003eThe book provides a comprehensive perspective on resilience changes by fusing case-study narratives with institutional analysis, policy evaluation, and UN\/Green Climate Fund-backed initiatives. In addition to concrete infrastructure, it highlights nature-based solutions (such as mangrove replanting, sand fences, and crab banks), highlighting the connections between sustainable urban development, multi-scale governance, and local knowledge. In sum, this book offers a detailed yet comprehensive picture of urban and coastal resilience, making it an essential tool for academics, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in climate adaptation in tropical coastal regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819549740\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-95-4975-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 231\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698837450892,"sku":"9789819549740","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819549740.jpg?v=1774536586","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819549740","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
