Cities are more exposed to natural and man-made risks than rural areas. Disaster response and preparedness are fundamental to ensuring the sustainable well-being of urban populations. In the future, innovative designs for urban areas will be key to creating resilient spaces where public health, social connections and equity are core objectives to achieving sustainable and scalable impact.
This session will map the landscape of health and resiliency in cities, highlighting challenges and opportunities for heightening their ability to anticipate crises proactively. It will also discuss how cities can design built-in resiliency through thoughtful policies.
