Cities beckon with promises of progress and prosperity.
Yet, they grapple with a growing roster of challenges—climate disasters, socio-economic disparities, and health crises—amidst unprecedented environmental shifts.
Marginalized communities bear the brunt of these challenges.
Urban resilience stands as our beacon, equipping cities to withstand shocks and adapt to chronic stresses, shaping proactive, inclusive communities.
At its core, a dynamic nexus converges climate, housing, and health.
Climate change intensifies extreme events, while housing quality and equity influence health outcomes.
This session explores innovative solutions, guiding us toward cities that are resilient, equitable, and primed for a promising future.
