Abstract
Climate change is a major challenge for human sustainable and urban governance mode. A Two-Dimensional Urgency-Adaptability Situation Model for Cities Responding to Climate Change was constructed in this study to evaluate cities adaptation capacity to climate change. The model evaluated city adaptability in five aspects: social and economic development, disaster response, urban planning adaptation, science and technology and policy management. To verify the effectiveness of the model, Shenzhen was chosen as a case, which had a start in climate change adaptation as a developed coastal city in China. The result shows that Shenzhen should further focus on enhancing its urban planning adaptability in the aspects including green construction, planning and design, as well as city renovation and regeneration. The Urgency-Adaptability Situation Model helps to make policy suggestions aiming at enhancing the climate adaptability of cities.
