Challenges faced in emergency response phase in urban areasAshique Hasan
The world is now facing a rapid growth of urbanization mainly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Now the time has come to give more attention to urban people as the humanitarian agencies faced lots of difficulties in emergency response phase in urban areas. And some of the difficulties are very challenging and uncommon compared to rural areas. The uncontrolled urbanization due to unexpected migration towards urban areas is one of the underlying causes for that. Beside these lack of good governance and peoples accountability also responsible for stimulating the migration process towards urban areas. This paper tries to focus the causes of migration. And how it turns into hazard in urban perspective and create difficulties for the humanitarian agencies job during emergency response phase. Basing on case study of Haiti and Chile earthquake this paper highlights the gaps and limitation of the government’s disaster plan and following with some recommendations.

Urban design is the process of shaping the physical setting of cities and villages. It deals with groups of buildings and the spaces between them, including streets, paths, gardens and squares. Urban design considers aesthetics and how the physical environment will be used. It requires input from multiple fields like engineering, ecology, history and transport planning. The best urban design involves interdisciplinary teams to create places that are good to live in, attractive to visit, establish community identity, reduce crime, and be socially and economically successful.
GALRI is an architecture group working in Haiti to promote sustainable development based on Kreyol culture. They identify 10 patterns of "Kreyol Living Wisdom" that have shaped Haitian settlements, including landscape stewardship, the lakou communal courtyard, and the galri porch. Properly understanding and leveraging these indigenous traditions can empower Haitians to shape the regeneration of their country in a way that sticks to the local legacy.
This document discusses building sustainable communities in an urbanizing world. It argues that mass production of standardized housing risks losing local culture and identity. Alternatively, communities can be built by empowering local groups, demonstrating sustainable models, and recognizing local adaptation. The Prince's Foundation works with communities to build skills, social capital, and housing that respects local needs through techniques like community engagement, training programs, and green building practices.
The document discusses building sustainable communities in an urbanizing world. It argues for an approach that emphasizes local identity, culture and community engagement rather than standardized "international style" development. The Prince's Foundation demonstrates models for empowering communities through workshops, skills training, and building approaches that enhance social and environmental capital. These include considering local needs, materials and climate, integrating mixed uses, and allowing for adaptation over time. The goal is to meet large housing needs in a way that strengthens communities and sense of place.
This document summarizes a project by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation to develop a model housing project in the Jacarecino favela in Rio de Janeiro between 2000-2004. The project aimed to improve living conditions for residents through urban planning interventions. It began with art installations and workshops to foster communication between residents and the city. The core of the project was a "urban cell" model block proposing solutions for city development and architecture that could be applied throughout the favela. This included reorganizing plots, removing building cores to create courtyards, and raising ground floor housing to improve access. The goals were to stimulate social and economic development while respecting existing community structures.

The document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Robert Shipley on the economics of heritage development. Some key points from the presentation include:
- Heritage development can be economically viable and provide returns on investment comparable to new development.
- Barriers include a lack of financing options, tax disincentives, and shortages in skilled labor.
- Successful projects require political and developer support to adaptively reuse existing structures rather than demolish them.
- Heritage designation recognizes the historical, cultural, and design value of structures and allows for managed change.
The document summarizes several of Luis Gerardo Campos Alanis' architectural projects. It provides brief descriptions of 10 projects focused on concepts like washing out borders to connect social contexts, using a building as a threshold, reconnecting fragmented university campuses, and allowing a sense of place to guide material choices. The projects addressed issues like segregation, security, and appropriation of space by communities.

5. WHAT IS GALRI?
GALRI is a joint venture association of San Francisco Bay Area architects
who have been working in Haiti since January of 2010 in collaboration with
Haitian professionals and citizens.
The name GALRI comes from the Kreyol work for veranda or porch, that
essential Haitian place that mediates between the private interior and the
public community life.
We are focused on cultural connection and environmental sustainability as
vital sparks in regeneration and redevelopment.
6. GALRI PROVIDES:
TOWN & SITE PLANNING
ARCHITECTURE & BUILDING DESIGN
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION
7. GALRI VISION:
We integrate global best practices with local knowledge, to help regenerate
and sustain Haiti's built and natural environment.
8. GALRI OBJECTIVES:
We leverage international development resources with local knowledge and
networks
We facilitate sustainable, culturally connected planning and design in public
and private initiatives to revitalize the cities and towns of post-earthquake
Haiti
9. GALRI IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS:
We identify and match development opportunities with entitlements, capital
and human resources.
We implement sustainable, culturally connected planning, design and
construction.
We preserve, restore and enhance Haiti’s unique cultural, landscape for
economic engagement with world markets.
We help civil servants, property owners, investors and local stakeholders
integrate, leverage and balance economic, environmental and social returns
on investment.
We bring market-driven solutions that will help Haiti emerge onto the world
stage as a desirable destination for investment.
We establish effective linkages among international and local higher
education institutions to improve professional preparation in planning,
design, engineering and construction and enhance economic opportunity for
younger citizens of Haiti.
12. Haiti's historic Gingerbread Houses embody an extraordinary exhibition of
architectural artistry, and provide both a touchstone and a beacon for the
efforts to rebuild and regenerate Port au Prince and Haiti.
Designed and built in the early 20th century by Haitian born architects who
had studied in France, and utilizing a resilient hybrid of timber frame and
masonry construction, they are uniquely ornamented and ingeniously
climatically responsive.
The Gingerbreads thus exemplify a global high water mark of African
American and Creole environmental culture. However, although they are
acknowledged as world treasures of art and building, and have proved
remarkably resilient in the wake of the January 2010 earthquake, many are in
danger of vanishing, through neglect, demolition, redevelopment and a lack
of awareness of their significance and exceptionality.
13. The Gingerbreads provide a wonderful model of the creative power of Creole
culture, as a regional amalgam of globally transmitted African, European,
and American threads, that is inherently responsive to local circumstance,
including in terms of climate, materials and construction technology--in other
words "sustainable".
An ambitious joint endeavor, of historical preservation and education, of
conserving and restoring these buildings, raising awareness of their
particularly rich cultural legacy, would re-introduce the best of Haiti, its
"Legends" to the world.
Galri is currently working with international hospitality experts on
developing economic, planning, architectural and restoration plans that will
preserve and nourish these "Legends" through the 21st Century, and leverage
their splendor as a prime catalyst for Haiti's redevelopment.
16. The "Urban Village Model" is an integrated system for developing, building
and maintaining the physical environment of small self managed
communities in urban settings. In Haiti, the "Urban Village" is a cohesive
physical and social whole--a mini-neighborhood--primarily residential,
centered around a shared open space --- "Lakou" in Kreyol.
The Urban Village Model is not a Disney-like "model village." Rather, it is a
systematic method to identify, configure and build housing that creates
vibrant communities. Key elements include: integrated planning, design,
engineering and construction, on site prototyping with residents, independent
infrastructure, and adoption of dynamic social and market channels for
scaling and adaptation.
18. Several key Haitian Kreyol environmental patterns are manifested in the
Urban Village Model, including:
"Nuovo Lakou"--a modernization of the traditional Haitian courtyard
Landscape stewardship--integrating private and shared open spaces with
landscape restoration
A diversity of building types, including Creole Townhouses, "Kay Chamhot"
(tall house) and "Ti Kay" (small house)
"Galri" (veranda) extended outdoor living spaces
"Jaden pre kay" (kitchen gardens)
Property line hedgerows & gates
21. The residential villages are sited on multi-acre "greenfield" parcels within
commuting distance of downtown Port au Prince.
The Haitian residential village synthesizes Haitian and American medium
density "suburban" models. Preliminary studies demonstrate capacity for
several hundred dwellings, with connections to local commercial and work
centers, as well as social, institutional and recreational facilities.
The house types would vary in scale and configuration, from small homes to
estate lots, with potential also for modestly scaled apartment and mixed use
buildings. Each typical lot accommodates two dwelling units.
Existing trees, natural watercourses and other landscape features will to be
restored and enhanced. A connected grid of streets and blocks will be
integrated with the site's existing topography and landscape. The residential
core of the villages would be developed initially, providing a resilient
foundation for incremental infill growth.
23. Civic patterns in the residential villages include:
•A healthy mix of residential & working life
•Connection to neighboring infrastructure networks
•Integrated energy, water, waste, transportation and communications
management
Architectural and building patterns in the residential villages include:
•A diversity of building types & scales
•Safe, durable & culturally connected construction methods & materials
Landscape repair patterns in the residential villages include:
•A garden network at a range of scales
•Tree lined streets and property line hedgerows, as part of an integrated water
resource system
32. The What If Foundation was founded in 2000 to support food and education
programs for impoverished children in Port-au-Prince. The food program
started small, but grew steadily and now feeds more than 500 children per
day in the Ti Plas Kazo neighborhood. Its school scholarship program
provides 200 scholarships annually. Education and nutrition together are
essential to break the hold that poverty has on a majority of children in Haiti.
Recognizing the paramount importance of education, and how inaccessible it
is for the poor in Haiti, the What If Foundation has undertaken the building
and operating its own school instead of simply providing scholarships. The
school and cafeteria will serve 500 students, K-13. The food program will
continue for the students, as well as maintaining programs for the larger
community, including access to an multi-purpose/auditorium space for
community events.
33. The What If Foundation has partnered with a team from Builders Without
Borders, led by the GALRI member, architect Martin Hammer, to design and
oversee the construction of the approximately one million dollar project, with
construction slated to start in the Fall of 2012.
The design addresses the project’s functional needs, is engineered for both
earthquakes and hurricanes, meets the challenges of a sloping urban site, and
is responsive to climate and culture with its use of the open open but shaded
Galri for circulation.
The project will include Photovoltaic electricity, rainwater catchment, and
dehydrating toilets. The building will be constructed using reinforced
concrete block with crushed rubble aggregate, bamboo roof framing in the
Galri, and plastered straw-clay panels in the second story walls.
36. These projects are being implemented as a collaboration between the
University of San Francisco Architecture and Community Design
International Outreach Program under the direction of GALRI member Seth
Wachtel, and Medicorp, a non-profit community partner in Haiti. This
prototype primary care clinic and attendant housing provides Haitian
communities with access to health care in structurally safe, efficiently
designed and culturally connected buildings.
The clinic is designed to be familiar and inviting, climatically comfortable,
and structurally able to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. It is to serve as
a place of comfort, hope and safety for the community.
37. The attendant dwellings are located in proximity to the Health Clinic,
providing housing for health care workers. Various configurations of this
complex of housing and health services are intended to be deployed
throughout Haiti.
Construction details that apply current engineering standards to an adaptation
of the historic Gingerbread/Columbage building type found in Port au Prince,
Jacmel and other Haitian cities are being developed with the engineering
team. The timber laced masonry system is both beautiful and seismically and
hurricane resistant.
40. We call the essential patterns of the Haitian environmental legacy “Kreyol
Living Wisdom”. They are a touchstone and inspiration for rebuilding, a
magnet for investment, and a priceless stake in establishing Haiti’s full
partnership on the world stage.
Kreyol Living Wisdom is the means by which culturally connected
reconstruction and development can actually happen. It is the way that
ordinary Haitian citizens can shape the truly sustainable regeneration of their
country, through empowering and leveraging the legacy of their native
experience and intelligence.
Kreyol Living Wisdom must be thoroughly documented, archived and
disseminated, in order to best fulfill its full potential.
41. TEN ESSENTIAL PATTERNS:
The question--What can Haiti teach us?--has guided our work. It is based on
really looking at how Haitians have actually best lived in and crafted their
environment, as well as their dreams and aspirations to a healthier society.
We have focused on ten essential patterns that represent the full spectrum of
this knowledge. These patterns, on three levels of scale include:
TOWNS: BUILDINGS:
1. Landscape Stewardship 5. The Galri (Porch)
2. Living Off the Land 6. The Jaden (Garden)
3. Kreyol Settlement Structure 7. Rural Building Models
4. The Lakou 8. Urban Building Models
CONSTRUCTION:
9. Color, Pattern & Ornament
10. Kreyol Architecture
