Resilient land use and development planning for Dominican Republic municipalities : a resource notebook for integrating climate change considerations

Abstract

This Notebook is designed for professional staff or technical consultants who are leading or supporting a municipal land use planning process or the development of a municipal development plan. This Notebook is a companion resource to the Methodological Guide for the Formulation of Municipal Land Use Plan published by the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development (MEPyD), Dominican Republic, in 2016. The Notebook and the accompanying tools and resources will help you organize and use climate information as you develop your land use plans so that you can identify the risks you should consider and address during the planning process. The Notebook can also help you to integrate climate change factors into other municipal planning and decision making, such as in your municipal development planning process.
