Smart and Resilient Infrastructure in the Wake of Climate Change

Résumé

Climate change and global disruptions such as pandemics are exposing critical vulnerabilities in urban infrastructure. This editorial introduces the thematic issue Smart and Resilient Infrastructure in the Wake of Climate Change, which explores how smart technologies, governance frameworks, and community engagement can enhance resilience. The eight contributions span multiple contexts—including transport systems, water infrastructure in South Africa, housing in the Navajo Nation, and coastal towns in the Baltic—demonstrating both the promise and limits of data‐driven tools, digital twins, and IoT applications. A recurring theme across the articles is that technological innovation alone is insufficient: resilience depends equally on equity, inclusive governance, and context‐sensitive strategies. Together, the studies offer empirical evidence and conceptual frameworks that bridge technical, institutional, and social perspectives. They offer actionable insights for designing infrastructures that are not only smart and adaptive but also inclusive and future‐ready in an era of accelerating climate risk.
