| Résumé : | Urban adaptation to climate change is a field of growing interest in spatial planning and it is especially concerned with ways to cope with uncertainty inherent in regional downscaling of global prediction and, overall, in the response of the city to change. The paper presents the results of several research studies conducted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with the twofold aim of increasing understanding of adaptation practices and developing methodologies for mainstreaming adaptation into urban development and environment management plans and programs. More specifically, the paper discusses the progress made by the research team in two directions: firstly, the enhancement of knowledge of the relationship between urban sprawl and climate change vulnerability in coastal Dar es Salaam; secondly, the development of a scenario methodology to support local governments in preparing long-term adaptation strategies for fighting groundwater salinization in a perspective of water resource conservation. |
