Abstract

This paper centers on interviews with persons who have experienced either displacement or loss of their home due to climate related crises, mostly adverse weather events. The research is part of a three-year project called RESCUE (Real Estate and Sustainable Crises Management in Urban Environment) funded by the Academy of Finland. The objective is to identify elements of wellbeing that are tied into the built environment, and comment on how these elements can be taken into account in future planning and policy development in order to promote dynamic resiliency of communities.
