项目摘要

This project investigates how changing financial market practices associated with environmental variability risks impact cities and those who live in them. The research will make significant contributions to an understanding of the financial drivers that shape how cities respond to a changing environment. The work will enhance knowledge of the impact of unaffordable flood insurance, property devaluation, and governmental management in cities impacted by these increased environmental risks. Understanding the impact of these changing practices on urban life is critical for creating equitable and effective urban governance. Findings from this project will be disseminated in open-access articles for public use and the project will support the training of doctoral student. This research uses an integration of expert interviews, ethnographic observation, and documentary analysis to examine the role of changing financial market practices in urban resilience planning. The research will be conducted in coastal cities that are already experiencing the effects of a changing environment and that have put into place resilience bonds. Specific research questions that the investigators will answer include: (1) What kind of problem(s) does environmental variability pose to key financial market actors, and how do they address these problems in their practices?; (2) How do these practices inform governmental action on resilience?; and (3) How might market-driven action impact residents’ ability to make financial claims in the future? This project offers a novel perspective on two increasingly pervasive contemporary problems that face societies around the world: how to finance urban resilience, and how changing risk rating practices create urban inequalities and uneven social and environmental outcomes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目调查了与环境变异性风险相关的金融市场实践如何影响城市和生活在其中的城市。这项研究将为了解城市如何应对不断变化的环境的财务驱动因素做出重大贡献。这项工作将增强对受这些增加的环境风险影响的城市中无法承受的洪水保险，财产定义和政府管理的影响的知识。了解这些不断变化的实践对城市生活的影响对于建立公平有效的城市治理至关重要。该项目的调查结果将在开放式文章中散布，以供公众使用，该项目将支持博士生的培训。这项研究使用专家访谈，人种学观察和文献分析的整合来研究不断变化的金融市场实践在城市弹性计划中的作用。该研究将在沿海城市进行。已经经历了不断变化的环境的影响，并且已经建立了弹性债券。调查人员将回答的具体研究问题包括：（1）环境变异性对主要金融市场参与者构成了哪种问题，以及他们如何在实践中解决这些问题？（2）这些做法如何为政府对弹性行动提供依据？（3）市场驱动的行动将如何影响居民将来提出财务主张的能力？该项目提供了一个新的观点，讲述了两个越来越普遍的当代问题，这些问题面临着世界各地的社会：如何为城市的弹性提供资金，以及不断变化的风险评级实践如何造成城市不平等和社交和环境成果的不均匀。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过评估基础的智力效果和宽阔的范围来评估，并以评估良好的支持。
