Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Globally, the urbanized regions in developing countries are struggling to anticipate and incorporate increasing flood risks due to rising impacts of climate change in their urban management agendas. Consequentially, resilience is increasingly being considered as a promising concept in planning that emphasises the capacity to resist, absorb and adjust continuously to changing flood risks. The aim of this paper is to investigate how the urbanized regions in developing countries attempt to adopt the resilience concept in their urban planning and flood risk management policies. The central case study is Bangkok Resilience Strategy. This paper adopts a framing approach to analyze how policy framing guides resilience policy interventions in Bangkok’s urban management. In Bangkok, the resilience concept is adopted as a broad solution for a wide range of urban problems safeguarding urban activities from flood and other disturbances. In this regard, Bangkok Resilience Strategy highlights the economic competitiveness as the major desired outcome from resilience building. Drawing on an evolutionary perspective on resilience, this paper concludes that resilience policy adoption could be used as an opportunity to continuously revaluate and readjust existing planning approaches for addressing both physical and social vulnerabilities to floods.
