Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to analyze the implications between the declining and shrinking cities, urban vacant lands, urban land uses, green infrastructures, and urban green areas, and their impact on climate hazards change. The analysis departs from the basic assumption that urban vacant land sites and spaces have a negative connotation but if supported by the appropriate policies and programs of incentives, they can turn around and develop the essential green infrastructure to enable the mitigation of climate change hazards and bring about economic growth and socio-ecological development. The method used is analytical-descriptive based on the theoretical and empirical literature review. It is concluded that the land uses of vacant land sites more oriented toward urban green innovation infrastructure and forest areas contribute to mitigate the climate change hazards.
