Abstract

This chapter investigates the issue of sustainability and resilience related to transport nodes and nodal systems. It illustrates the major impacts of climate change on transport nodes and nodal systems, both positive (e.g., the opportunities for Arctic shipping and ports) and negative (e.g., rising sea levels, more frequent hurricanes). In view of these opportunities and challenges, it discusses the major issues of transport nodes and nodal systems in developing resilience against such impacts with reference to a number of real world experiences. At the end, a model is developed to analyze effective adaptation planning for transport nodes and nodal systems.
