| Summary, etc. |
Rapid urbanisation has been the hallmark of demographic growth in the 20th Century. In 2008, the urban population equaled the rural and is expected to grow rapidly in future, led primarily by Africa and Asia. The inevitable trend of urbanisation has concentrated economic activity and pushed economic growth and also promoted inequality and social disruption along with environmental damage. The authors argue that urban development should incorporate an approach towards building safer cities by building resilience of systems. Enhancing urban resilience should therefore follow a people-centred and multi-faceted approach, to integrate and highlight the physical, social, economic, governance and community characteristics. In the complex risk landscape of cities, planning for future can be successful only if an integrated approach for long-term planning within the socio-technical-built-environmental systems is adopted, rather than focusing on separate sectors. Safe development thus denotes enhancing the capacity of the communities and systems supporting them to withstand and cope with disasters. Therefore, increasing resilience of vulnerable communities and systems is required as priority action. - Reproduced. |
