Introduction Cities face a diverse set of social, economic and environmental challenges, situating them as loci of progressive visions for sustainable future living (Angelo and Wachsmuth, 2020). For the past two decades, the urban climate change agenda has evolved (Bulkeley, 2021; Long and Rice, 2019). Cities of the Global North focussed initially on greenhouse gas reductions (Aylett, 2015), and, since the 2010s, have also been working on adaptation and resilience (Webber et al., 2021).
