Abstract

Global climate change is one of the topics that the world is talking about more and more. It is accepted that the source of climate problems is human activities. So, the solution to the problem should start from the settlements where the population is concentrated. For this reason, the cities where most of the world's population live to stand out as the places where the problem and the solution begin. This study approaches the global climate change problem in terms of cities. The study primarily put emphasis on the role of cities in solving climate problems. The aim of the study is to define the concept of a climate-smart city and its components and to emphasize that climate-smart urban development and planning should rise on four components. The study focuses on an example of a climate-smart urban space project developed by the Municipality of Malmö in an area called Hyllie. In the study, the stages of a climate-smart urban development are analyzed by evaluating Malmö Municipality's policies, reports, plans, and programs regarding Hyllie.
