The chapter provides an insight into the relationship between synergic (r)urban systems, information
networks and climate change, discussing the emerging ideas, and concepts related to the increasing use
of information networks in the process of climate adaptation and mitigation. Emphasizing the strategic
role of both digital and material information flows, supported by ICT tools, the chapter focuses on two
main domains of data exchange and knowledge transfer: the public communication of climate change
and the connectivity and interaction within (r)urban hybrid systems. Underlining the issues of effectiveness, accessibility, and low-carbon outcomes of synergic (r)urban reactions to climate shift, recent environmental and technological trends are considered in accordance with the preferred spatio-functional
flexibility of emerging (r)urban hybrid settlements. The chapter also identifies and analyses three areas
of ICT applicability, targeting the role of information networks in t...he anticipated climate-friendly development: human behavior, ecological awareness, and general efficiency.
