Summary
This handbook has been prepared as a companion to the Urban Impacts Toolbox which has been developed under the MSI funded research programme “Impacts of Climate Change on Urban Infrastructure and the Built Environment”. The programme was led by NIWA in collaboration with MWH New Zealand Ltd, BRANZ and GNS. The main objective was to respond to the needs of regional, city and district councils by providing guidance and decision tools that can be used by urban council staff and policy makers to reduce the potential adverse effects of climate change. This handbook provides an overview of the Toolbox structure and gives guidance on its use.
