| Abstract | This article reflects on the construction of an operational approach for adaptation to climate change in low and middle-income countries. I depart from the assumption that climate change is a development challenge for urban areas and that adaptation to its impacts needs to be considered a learning process rather than a single product. I argue that an operational approach to climate change needs to address the formal and the informal process of urban growth in order to be efficient. This requires attention to the balance between structure and agency in the construction of the urban space and the combination of top-down and bottom-up actions. The article considers the role of urban institutions and the collaboration between scholars and local governments and stakeholders as part of an operational approach for adaptation. *Corresponding author: roberto.sanchez-rodriguez@ucr.edu |
