The Technical WFEO Committee on Disaster Risk Management and the Peruvian Engineers Association (CIP) are organizing the webinar “Creating and implementing a decision support environment for risk-sensitive pro-poor urban planning and development of Tomorrow’s Cities” to be held on 17 May, at 06:00 AM in Lima and 12:00 PM in London.
The registration link is available in this page.
This talk will primarily cover the successful deployment of the Tomorrow’s Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) in the city of Nablus, Palestine, a rapidly expanding urban area that lacks formal planning and is increasingly exposed to floods, earthquakes, and landslides.
The promising potential of the TCDSE to help minimize future urban risk creation in this context will be highlighted. The webinar will conclude with an open discussion on the general capabilities of the TCDSE to shape policy changes that ultimately lead to risk-informed urban futures.
