Course In this course we address concepts of urban risk management and approaches to integrate risk
summary form natural hazards and climate change into urban planning and management strategies.
The role of cities has changed from places of refuge and buffers against environmental
changes to hotspots of disasters and risk. Cities and urbanized areas are to an increasing
degree hit by natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes, heat waves, landslides, and have to
prepare for and adapt to the occurring impacts of climate change. Accordingly, city
authorities and planners are increasingly facing the challenge of finding ways to include risk
Course reduction and adaptation strategies in their work. The resilient city is built upon planning and
description design strategies needed in order to help cities develop the necessary capacities to meet these
challenges of the future. In this course we address concepts of urban risk management and
approaches to integrate risk form natural hazards and climate change into urban planning and
management strategies. We look at hazard and climate change adaptation plans of cities and
assess community-based coping capacities and strategies. We make use of GIS-based
methods for conducting urban risk and vulnerability assessments.
