In our second Development by Design dialogue, Chief of UN-Habitat’s Urban Risk Reduction Unit and head of the City Resilience Profiling Program (CRPP) Dan Lewis and faculty member and urban/environmental researcher Hug March talked about how developing cities in particular can acquire the necessary tools and strategies to be resilient, in other words, to withstand and recover quickly from any plausible hazard. The CRPP, based in Barcelona, is UN-Habitat’s new agency responsible for ensuring the sustainable development of cities, towns, and settlements.
