dc.description.abstractFlawed assumptions about the nature of urban environments can mean that complexity theory paints an incomplete picture of how cities might address the climate vulnerability of poor and marginalized residents, a key concern of Urban Climate Resilience in Southeast Asia Partnership (UCRSEA). In this paper, literature at the intersection of complexity and urban climate change governance is critically reviewed. The paper argues that political ecology may be more useful in understanding links between urbanization, vulnerability, and governance. The author was invited to write this paper for UCRSEA to outline the state of knowledge on complexity theory and urban climate governance, with a particular focus on adaptation/resilience.en
