Placing vernacular knowledge at the forefront of climate-responsive design, this book deals with the UN's SDG 11 mandate for inclusive, safe, and resilient cities. The volume also reviews how millennia-old building traditions can decarbonise construction and fortify communities against escalating climate risks. Comprising case studies, and pertinent infographics, it equips practitioners, educators, and decision-makers with the scientific rigour and persuasive language necessary to leverage vernacular intelligence for decarbonisation, equity, and cultural continuity. It is simultaneously an academic contribution, a design manual, and an urgent rallying cry for a planet-positive built environment.
