Description

The combined impact of climate change and urban problems causes chaotic effects in urban areas. Urbanisation is inevitable; it is crucial to design an urban area that can adapt to these circumstances and mitigate the issues of climate change and urbanisation. This study deals with creating an efficient city that has increased the quality of life of people, uses resources efficiently and is climate resilient. Quantitative data analysis using agent-based modelling is used to find patterns in demand, spatial analysis is used to identify and map resource density in urban areas, and system modelling uses Revit and Free CAD; these are the principal methodologies used in this research. The intended outcome is to have a development tool and framework to help design a city or urban area that could adapt and mitigate these challenges from Urbanization and climate change; urban resilience is successfully achieved. The result of this research will benefit policymakers, urban planners, and local governments, creating urban areas that guarantee urban resilience and strengthen urban management systems
