Making cities resilient: from awareness to implementation

International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, vol. 4, no. 1, 2013 (special issue):

This paper provides an update of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) campaign on making cities resilient. The focus of the campaign will shift to more implementation support, city-to-city learning and cooperation, local action planning and monitoring of progress in cities. Continued advocacy will seek to commit more cities and increase the support by national governments to support city resilience and local capacities.
