**3. Methodology**

Scoping review was adopted as the research method for undertaking this study. This approach was engaged due to the broad and intricate nature of the specific concepts involved. A scoping review of a body of literature can be of particular use when the topic has not yet been extensively reviewed or is of a complex or heterogeneous nature [23]. Hence, studies and reports on the subject of climate change, urban infrastructure and sustainable development were scoped in the review process. A scoping review identifies the key concepts in a research area together with the main sources and types of evidence. The strategy was engaged to identify relevant body of literature, put the current research in context, summarize and present research findings and make necessary recommendations.
