| Summary: | Cities today face an unprecedented risk
of natural hazards compounded by serious governance
challenges. How can cities ensure that in building
resilience, they address the needs of those most at risk of
being excluded? How can they develop strategies that
simultaneously foster resilient infrastructure and social
inclusion? This note focuses on urban floods—one of the most
pervasive forms of disasters that strike cities—and
illustrates who may be left behind, and how building city
resilience and social inclusion can work together. It is
intended to stimulate thought and debate, and to lead the
way for a more in-depth analysis of the problems and
solutions, and towards more effective and sustainable city resilience. |
