Sendai: towards a disaster-resilient and environmentally-friendly city
This document introduces some activities Sendai City is carrying out to build a 'Disaster-Resilient and Environmentally-Friendly City', which will help the city to be prepared for future disasters and climate change. This strategy is guided by 3 key pillars: i) urban development; ii) human capacity building; and iii) sending out information and establishing a city brand. The focus is on 'mainstreaming DRR' while incorporating disaster prevention and environmental considerations into every policy, and maintaining a high level of security and safety in the lives of the city's residents and in the economic activities, in addition to maintaining the city's comfortable living environment.
