“…An extensive literature on the governance of urban adaptation in the global south has emerged over the past decade focusing on governance and political configurations (Bahadur & Tanner, 2014;Bulkeley & Betsill, 2005), the role of planning and innovative approaches (Carmin et al, 2012;Chu, 2016;Fisher, 2014;Hurlimann & March, 2012), and underlying drivers of urban vulnerability, particularly as these are shaped by informality (Satterthwaite & Dodman, 2013). However, there has been limited application of social learning itself so far although a notable exception has been a recent network of small to medium-sized cities using shared learning dialogues (SLDs) and iterative cycles with stakeholders, the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN; see Archer, Colenbrander, & Dodman, 2017;Kernaghan & da Silva, 2014;Orleans Reed et al, 2013;Tyler & Moench, 2012). However, particularly in the global south, adaptation has increasingly been conceptualised through an urban resilience lens, a holistic approach that sees addressing urban systems, urban agents, and urban institutions as being critical elements (Tyler & Moench, 2012).…”
