An analysis of case study responses to climate change indicate that urban space to address the twin faces of climate change planning will likely come from two related
responses: the first is through more intensive multiple use of existing open space in
urban metropolitan areas, and the second is actual removal of some roads with corridors
that serve transit and adaptation functions. The resulting design and location of roads,
transportation systems, stormwater management systems, urban development patterns
and the green infrastructure that support all of those land uses will be substantially
different under conditions of climate change.
