Why-Urban-Plans-and-Designs-for-Climate-Resilience-Building

Climate change resilience building will require a new and innovative approach to urban planning and design, which are key to land use, infrastructure development and urban expansion, municipal service provision, growth management, environmental planning, solid and liquid waste management, housing and building development, and site design—all areas in which climate actions are involved.

Urban planning, when done strategically and guided by evidence-based decisions, leads to forward looking, comprehensive, integrated, inclusive approaches in enhancing resilience.
