‘Vulnerability of cities is a multi-dimensional problem’. Discuss.
Urban risk has for too long been a marginal policy concern. Rapid urbanisation makes this position untenable. More and more of humanity, and the majority of the physical assets that drive development, are located in cities at risk. This urban shift is demonstrated by UN-HABITAT’s observation that between 2000-2010 for the first time in our history more people will live in urban than in rural settlements. But urban population growth is not evenly distributed. By 2030, UN-HABITAT estimate that 27 countries will account for 75 per cent of the World’s urban population – with all but seven in less developed countries. Most urban citizens live in settlements of 500,000 people or less with limited capacity to respond to disaster risk.
Larger cities – especially mega-cities with more than 10 million inhabitants like Manila, Shanghai, Dhaka, Karachi, Tokyo or Los Angeles
