Urban Safety and Resilience

Develop a structured analysis framework to evaluate how cities can strengthen resilience against urban hazards. Consider components such as building codes and retrofits for multi-story housing, disaster risk assessment, governance of urban planning, evacuation and emergency response planning, and public communication strategies. Propose a step-by-step plan for city leaders, including data needs, stakeholder roles, cost-benefit considerations, and indicators to measure progress over time. Include examples of policies that balance safety with social equity in high-density urban areas.
