Why do some cities adapt to climate change hazards better than others? Climate resilience initiatives are modern redistributive policies that struggle to achieve electoral support, because their benefits are diffuse, except to the most vulnerable in society who need them. Yet increasingly, some cities recover from crisis more effectively than others, evacuate their citizens from storms better than others, or adopt more resilient, renewable energy systems than others. Conventional wisdom holds that cities adapt better due to better technocratic policy like infrastructure quality, or struggle to adapt because they have host vulnerable populations, but these traits of cities are difficult to intervene in. Instead, this dissertation hypothesizes that greater community resources like social capital and "soft" community-focused policy toolkits help cities to mobilize and accelerate adaptation to climate change.To test this, I examine three parallel questions: 1) Why do some cities recover from disaster better than others? 2) Why do some cities see greater evacuation than others? 3) Why do some cities adopt renewable energy more than others?I measure recovery, evacuation, and renewable energy adoption as indicators of adaptation to hazards. I draw from case studies in Japan and the US. For recovery, I examine the 2011 triple disaster in Japan, generalizing a method of measuring social capital to Japan and using it to predict recovery. For evacuation, I explain evacuation of Facebook users during Hurricane Dorian in Florida in 2019. For adaptation, I explain solar power adoption from 2012-2019 in Japan. This dissertation tests its hypotheses using multiple methods, including statistical modeling, social network analysis, geographic information systems, matching experiments, surveys, fieldwork, and interviews.By analyzing how grassroots community resources and policy toolkits affect adaptation, evacuation, and recovery, this dissertation aims to clarify how cities, companies, and elected officials, can intervene in vulnerable cities to adapt to climate change.
