This study focuses on Bangkok, a city\u0000 not only highly vulnerable to climate change, but a city with one of the\u0000 highest carbon emissions per capita. The chapter highlights instances of\u0000 urban climate injustice by presenting three case studies: Bangkok’s public\u0000 transportation sector, the state’s response to the 2011 floods, and coastal\u0000 erosion in southern Bangkok. The cases show that the city’s governance\u0000 of climate change has unjustly benefited the upper echelon of society,\u0000 while low-income communities have been adversely affected.","PeriodicalId":341343,"journal":{"name":"Future Challenges of Cities in Asia","volume":"600 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131887651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is often assumed that the poor residents of a floodaffected\u0000 area are mainly vulnerable. Yet, only few studies have placed\u0000 flood-experienced people at the center of the vulnerability assessment.\u0000 This chapter aims to explore who is vulnerable among the flood-affected\u0000 urban poor and how they define flood-related vulnerability. We found that\u0000 kampung residents use their flood experiences as a stock of knowledge to\u0000 differentiate the level of vulnerability.
