This special issue of the Journal of Infrastructure, Policy and Development (JIPD) explores the dynamic intersections between civil engineering, hydraulic infrastructure, and urban and territorial planning, focusing on sustainable and climate-resilient development. Addressing a broad audience of researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals, this issue examines how technical and policy advancements can address climate-induced challenges, such as flooding events caused by phenomena like the DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos) that recently impacted Spain.

Contributors will investigate the infrastructure innovations, policy frameworks, and governance strategies that enhance urban resilience and sustainable development. Articles will delve into case studies, policy analyses, and applied research to present actionable solutions and forward-looking strategies for fostering climate-adaptive, green infrastructure within urban and rural planning contexts.
