SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT-CROSS ROADS AT URBAN DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
•
1 like•88 views
This document appears to be a presentation on sustainable cities and urban resilience. It discusses how cities concentrate resources but also vulnerabilities from climate change, disasters, and inefficient administration. It notes that climate change can increase extremes in temperature and rainfall, affecting ecosystems, health, and disrupting development. However, cities also provide opportunities to strengthen services, integrate climate resilience into development, and use codes/regulations to support risk management through low carbon strategies, green buildings, and compact development. The presentation emphasizes the importance of professionals and residents starting sustainable practices to increase urban resilience.
