Here's how you can enhance resilience in urban planning to combat natural disasters.

By integration of resilience into urban planning, cities can become more resilient, reduce the impact of natural disasters and enhance their ability to recover and adapt.Through infusing resilience, urban planning can become more effective to combat natural disasters.It can help to mitigate judiciously the risks ,enable assess and map the potential disasters and vulnerable areas.It can also ensure appropriate zoning and land use planning create resilient infrastructure, promote green infrastructure ensure early warning systems,emergency preparedness ,response plans and climate adaptation.

Potential risks can be explained at three different levels: - Regional level: Identifying high-risk and low-risk areas based on potentially severe and destructive forces. - Local level: Including urban and rural points, as well as all residential complexes. - Specific level: For a construction site or a construction unit. Determining potential risk areas at different levels should be based on a careful study of the zoning of at-risk areas. No decision should be made about final relocation in at-risk areas without a specialized preliminary study of zoning and without specifying the distribution of risk and different levels of potential risks.

By analyzing the likelihood, severity, and potential consequences of such events, e.g., as frequent flooding damaging infrastructure, severe earthquakes causing widespread building collapse, or hurricanes leading to massive evacuations, you can determine which areas need the most attention. This critical data is essential for informing decisions and ensuring that resources are distributed efficiently to reduce risks. For example, installing flood barriers in vulnerable zones, retrofitting buildings to withstand earthquakes, or improving early warning systems for hurricanes. Anticipating various scenarios helps establish a strong basis for a resilient urban community.

Para aumentar a resiliência no planejamento urbano contra desastres naturais, é fundamental integrar infraestruturas verdes, como parques e zonas úmidas, que absorvem impactos; fortalecer códigos de constru??o para edifica??es resilientes; promover sistemas de alerta preventivos e planos de evacua??o; e engajar a comunidade em práticas de prepara??o e resposta. Investir em tecnologias de monitoramento e em projetos de infraestrutura resiliente assegura que as cidades estejam melhor preparadas para enfrentar eventos extremos.

In my experience as an Environment Risk management expert, i believe physical planning is the first step to successful urban development. Residential zoning should be located sperate from industries. this will ensure thatpublic infrastructure like drainages are not overwhelmed for instance solid waste blocking drainages could possibly be cause of urban flooding.

Policy matters because the impact of planning on people matters. Resilience is all about how adjusting to impacts. Integrating resilience into urban planning requires embracing the direct vision and commitment of the urban population in planning affairs. This can install the mentality and instil a sense of "we win together and we fail together" in urban development. I call it co-ownership of urban consequences. If it is there, resilience will be infused.

So much of city management involves land use decisions. Land use decisions are an appropriate time to leverage hazard mitigation and climate adaptation. However, policies and codes must be in place at the time of development to appropriately trigger implementation. Develop a mitigation and adaptation wish list during your planning process. Write and adopt policies to support codes. Write and adopt codes. This public process creates a defensible streamlined development process.

Of the two, infrastructure can only do so much and too much enhances the very problems that are trying to be mitigated. However, open land areas through which nature thrives is as big a need as grocery stores in food deserts. Allowing trees to grow to full canopy for maximum cooling and wind blocks, re-educating the public about the hazards of water (a moving cubic meter of water is more dangerous than a static cubic meter of water), and developing inclusive, non-prejudicial community information, building and fundraising strategies can contribute much needed life saving cooling, calming and sustainability.

A integra??o de resiliência do planejamento urbano deve estar alinhada a 4 pontos:1. Boa legisla??o nacional, baseada em tratados internacionais, com aplica??o imediata dos Direitos Fundamentais sobre a legisla??o nacional 2. Estudos de viabilidade e saneamento sanitário e ambiental, indicando os riscos e os pontos favoráveis a ser trabalhados sobre o território.elabora??o de políticas públicas de nível municipal, estadual e federal, baseadas na prote??o dos direitos fundamentais prote??o e de aplicabilidade imediata sobre a vida humana, meio ambiente e saúde pública e 4 Planos de preven??o para desastres ambientais e grupos migratórios (refugiados climáticos), além da preserva??o das áreas verdes e a restaura??o das áreas devastadas.

Les politiques devraient imposer des objectifs de désartificialisation en de stopper l'artificialisation des sols dès maintenant. Retirer le bitume et le béton peut permettre d'aménager des espaces végétaux qui auront de multiples r?les : retour de la biodiversité, ralentissement du ruissellement, fra?cheur, filtration de l'air et de l'eau, plantations comestibles, lien social, détente et loisirs... Ces pratiques sont légales ET très en avance sur le ZAN (trop tardif, dérogatoire et à l'ambition faible)...

Through collaboration and communication, urban planners can integrate community feedback into adaptive strategies, improving the design and implementation of early warning systems, evacuation routes, and emergency response plans. This collaborative approach ensures that disaster preparedness measures are practical, inclusive, and resonate with the entire community.

A colabora??o da popula??o e o seu envolvimento no planeamento é fundamental para promover a resiliência e o conhecimento das comunidades, face aquilo a que est?o expostos.

When impactful projects are in process, it is vital to inform people of how they can get involved collaboratively at each stage of the project.

O dialogo entre a sociedade, gestores públicos e planejadores urbanos s?o necessários para o desenvolvimento das cidades, a participa??o popular faz com que seja exercida a democracia participativa tem possui um poder imenso na tomada de decis?es no planejamento dos espa?os urbanos pelos gestores e planejadores públicos. As cidades devem ser bem administradas, organizadas e com bom planejamento na distribui??o dos servi?os essenciais, que por sua vez devem ser prestados de forma igualitária atendendo a todos, inclusive os grupos em vulnerabilidade, da qual a inclus?o deve ser estabelecida de forma prioritária garantindo a prote??o e aplica??o dos direitos fundamentais como meio de realiza??o da justi?a social.

Réunions publiques régulières, balades urbaines, ateliers de sensibilisation tels que la Fresque de la Ville, communication sur tous les réseaux (questionnaires, quizz) et appui sur les associations sont autant de cartes à jouer pour motiver des habitants habituellement peu impliqués (encore moins qu'aux élections - européennes comprises -) dans ces processus décisionnaires.

As infra-estruturas verdes s?o o futuro do planeamento urbano, da arquitetura e da engenharia. Criar espa?os urbanos que coabitem em perfeita harmonia com o ambiente, traz benefícios imensuráveis para o planeta, para a popula??o, para os ecossistemas e para a redu??o das altera??es climáticas provocadas pela press?o dos grandes centros urbanos de concreto e alcatr?o. A simbiose entre estruturas urbanas e estruturas verdes promovem o bem-estar geral, qualidade de vida tanto para os seus utilizadores como para a biodiversidade e contribuem para a redu??o da pegada de carbono.

A large part of this endeavor is to minimize heating and cooling needs of buildings through better insulation and utilizing below ground space in the building-road footprint as well as solar panels if green roofs are not appropriate due to load stresses. Do not forget about ancient and effective architecture such as courtyards and Asian-Indian style screens to bring a faster breeze in during times of heat.

A ado??o de infraestrutura verdes nas cidades é um instrumento de preven??o e de preserva??o ao meio ambiente. A utiliza??o de elementos naturais em ambientes urbanos impacta positivamente na saúde humana tanto nos aspectos físico e mental, fazendo com que seja elevada a qualidade de vida das pessoas que habitam nesta localidade. O planejamento, a manuten??o deste tipo de mecanismo deve ser feito periodicamente, devendo contar como meio de preven??o a acidentes hidrológicos a ado??o de mecanismo de drenagem urbana e reuso de água fluviais como forma de preven??o e redu??o das inunda??es, fazendo com que as cidades sejam mais resilientes a eventos climáticos.

By conducting risk assessment and vulnerability mapping: Conduct comprehensive risk assessments to identify areas vulnerable to various natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc. Incorporate Nature-Based Solutions, Multi-Hazard Approach, Building Codes and Regulations, Infrastructure Resilience and Community Engagement and Education, to support Early Warning Systems in developing and deploying early warning systems that provide timely alerts to residents and emergency responders in the event of an impending disaster. Long-Term Planning and Adaptation also help to Incorporate long-term planning and adaptation strategies into urban development policies to address the impacts of climate change.

Totally agree, from previous experience the use of early warning systems is substantial like Japan's Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system, which provides alerts seconds before an earthquake hits, allowing for immediate protective actions. Resilient communication networks are exemplified by New York City's LinkNYC kiosks, which provide free Wi-Fi, phone calls, and emergency information, ensuring communication continuity during crises. Furthermore by leveraging cutting-edge technology, we can create a responsive and interconnected urban landscape capable of adapting quickly to changing circumstances.

O uso de novas tecnologias e da I.A se faz necessárias para a elabora??o e planejamento de medidas emergenciais advindas das mudan?as climáticas. O uso das ferramentas tem a finalidade de coletar informa??es e mapear de forma rápida e precisa os danos ocasionados pelos desastres ambientais, para que posteriormente seja elaborado um plano de controle e de estabiliza??o das áreas afetadas. Desta forma a tomada decis?es será realizada de forma eficaz e segura, além da realiza??o do planejamento para remo??o e manejo das pessoas que se encontra em áreas de risco. Uma cidade conectada a novas tecnologias está preparada para qualquer circunstancia ou mudan?as repentinas em seu território, a tornando resiliente a qualquer evento climático.

Permettre à la population d'être informée en temps réel, y compris dans des abris destinés à se prémunir des canicules, des tempêtes et des inondations = multiplier les canaux, y compris low-tech et anciens (talkie-walkie) pour parer aux pannes des réseaux traditionnels.

Redundancy planning in urban planning involves creating backup systems, infrastructure, and resources to ensure essential services remain functional during natural disasters. By integrating redundancy into urban planning, cities can enhance their resilience by mitigating the impacts of disasters. For example, having multiple power sources, such as renewable energy and backup generators, can ensure continuous electricity supply during storms or earthquakes. Similarly, designing transportation networks with alternative routes and modes of transportation can maintain mobility during emergencies. Overall, redundancy planning strengthens urban resilience by providing fallback options and minimizing the disruption caused by natural disasters.

A huge blindspot in urban planning is how women, men and children all differently use spaces—remember how great is was during Covid when cafes not cars took over our streets, there was room to push a pram along a pavement and there was significantly less air pollution? We have glimpsed a better way.

One critical area which cross-cuts the business resilience space, the need for adaptive communal spaces, and back-up systems combined with green tech is the healthcare service delivery infrastructure. In the aftermath of a crisis these institutions, and the equally impacted workforce managing these organizations, become inundated with patients. Increasing climate-fueled events and likelihood of communicable diseases should prompt us as a global community to center healthcare delivery as a key pillar in our discussion around climate change and it’s impacts on critical subsets of our society.
