| dc.description.abstract | With the rise of climate changes, there are large bodies of research on resilience and resource efficiency in the urban areas, as they are key to cope with those changes. Many practitioners and scholars have put tremendous efforts to understand urban system resilience to recover from hazardous natural events. However, a less explored area of research is to understand the resilience that affects urban areas but in adverse ways. Weak governance, social and political conflicts and lack of resources and capacity in many cities have detrimental environmental and human outcomes that have existed for long periods and are reinforced by resilience, which leads to systemic reproductions of behaviors and lack of consistent interventions which impedes radical changes. Thus, the paper tries to understand how to break the resilience of urban systems in order that they advance the agenda of sustainability and do not return to their initial (unsustainable) state and path. An important component is how to build institutional capabilities to link the two urban environmental agendas (physical resilience and resource efficiency) and break the inertial of unsustainable urban systems. The paper examines how best to translate issues related to climate change into urban planning and management having the waste management sector in sub-national level in Malaysia, as the object of research. It explores how the link of the two important urban environmental agendas analyzing the opportunities for climate co-benefits (win-win) can break resilience by bridging local (waste) and national/global (climate change) environmental issues. | |
