ABSTRACT

The climate change (CC) is a global environmental problem; it has crossed all the borders to pose threats to the entire world. The main problem of the research is that infrastructure, especially water and drainage networks, will be affected by the physical outcomes of CC, and they will play an essential role in our ability to adapt to those effects. The research aims to reach, The Climate Change Resilient Infrastructure Planning Framework which enables designers and researchers to identify critical infrastructure, predict risks associated with CC, develop, plan, implement, and assess resilience solutions. The framework helps users understand interconnected infrastructure systems -especially water and drainage systems- and it can be integrated into many types of plans, such as economic development, risk mitigation, and emergency response or recovery. Through an inductive approach, urban resilience has been studied, including the steps to achieve it, its relationship with water and drainage networks, the steps and stages of resilience infrastructure planning, the concept of climate change infrastructure and the impact of CC on water and drainage networks. Then, by applying the analytical approach, a framework consisting of goals, mechanisms and the responsible personals was produced. Hence, the proposed framework was applied to Alexandria city.
