3 Ways How Urban Planning Helps Reduce Disaster Risks

Planning Cities with Reduced Disaster Risks

Good urban planning removes exposure, decreases vulnerability, and increases capacity against hazards.

On May 2022, I spoke at a talk of the Caraga State University entitled โ€œ๐™’๐™–๐™ฎ๐™จ ๐™๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ง๐™™: ๐˜พ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™œ๐™– ๐™๐™š๐™œ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™ž๐™ก๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™๐™š๐™จ๐™ž๐™ก๐™ž๐™š๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ฎ & ๐™๐™š๐™™๐™ช๐™˜๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™‘๐™ช๐™ก๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™–๐™—๐™ž๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ.โ€

I highlighted avenues how good urban planning can help reduce disaster risks.

  • Urban planning helps identify hazardous areas. (Removing exposure)
  • Urban planning helps prioritize places and groups. (Reducing vulnerability)
  • Urban planning helps strengthen populations against hazards (Increasing capacity)

The talk was in light of the impacts of Typhoon Odette to the Philippines.
