Abstract	Abstract Urban areas worldwide are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and the intensification of urban heat islands. Climate-resilient urban planning offers an integrated approach to enhancing the adaptive capacity of cities while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper explores comprehensive strategies for developing climate-resilient urban environments, focusing on both adaptation and mitigation measures. The study outlines best practices in land-use planning, infrastructure design, green infrastructure integration, and policy innovation. Through a synthesis of recent literature and case studies, the paper demonstrates that a systems-based, inclusive, and proactive approach to urban planning can substantially reduce climate risks while promoting sustainability and social equity.
