Sustainable cities are defined by the interaction of three indicators: economic efficiency, citizen well-being and environmental protection. Sustainable urban development is both an objective in itself and, especially in its ecological aspect, a cornerstone of the strategy to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change. National and international institutions and governments have been committed to strengthening the contribution of environmental policies to the sustainable development of the planet. But to achieve global benefits it is important to act locally. In a context of increasing concentration of the world’s population in urban areas, cities play a key role in the fight against climate change, and not only in mitigating or reducing the severity of future impacts. Climate change has increased the exposure of cities to hazards from it and, consequently, disaster risk management and resilience must be integrated into urban policy design as part of a comprehensive adaptive strategy to achieve sustainable development and ensure intergenerational equity. |
