Urban Planning and Disasters

The "Urban Planning and Disasters” webinar will center around the impact of climate change on urban areas. It will address the scenario of climate emergencies and the vulnerabilities of urban structures when dealing with disasters. The webinar aims to engage in a discussion regarding whether these events should be considered predictable or not, and what implications they hold for cities. The primary objective is to understand the requirements of urban planning in response to such situations. Considering that disasters can strike various regions worldwide, the webinar will delve into the factors contributing to the varying impacts of similar events (such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, etc.) in areas at different stages of development. Moreover, it will explore how integrated urban planning can offer mechanisms to enhance the resilience of affected communities.
