details of how to tune in here:
https://www.wri.org/events/2019/02/designing-sustainable-cities-what-about-people
Highlighting the need for a socially-aware planning process when building
resilient cities.
Can urban planning and design make cities more resilient? Join WRI’s Robin
King and University of Oxford’s Cathy Baldwin as they answer this question,
which they address in their new book, *Social Sustainability, Climate
Resilience and Community-Based Urban Development: What About the People*?
Urban communities around the world face increased stress from natural
disasters linked to climate change and urban pressures such as increased
heat, flooding, and insufficient services. Fourteen case studies from
around the world -- focusing on housing, public space, transport, and
natural disasters like flooding and earthquakes -- stress how social
networks and social cohesion may be even more important for resilient
cities than solely their physical structures.
Robin King and Cathy Baldwin explore the relationship between urban built
environments and pro-community behaviors and psychological responses, which
include positive acts and states of mind that are beneficial to communities
and their residents.
Join the conversation as the researchers present their framework, case
studies and recommendations. Natalie Elwell, from WRI’s Gender and Social
Equity Initiative, will moderate the discussion.
