urban design
From 2017 to 2022, the BCRUPD project has improved capacities of national government agencies and local government units to promote and integrate urban adaptation planning and designs in their institutional policies and programs. It has also equipped cities to build back better from the impacts of pandemic with its Resilient and Green Recovery initiatives.
Ensuring stakeholder participation for its climate resilience initiatives, DHSUD worked with UN-Habitat Philippines to bring together various government agencies and the private sector in recent workshops for upcoming policy milestones.
Using resilient urban plans and designs, urban actors around the world immersed in a training to unlock solutions that will address climate related issues like increasing temperature, sea level rise, and flooding in the cities of Cagayan De Oro, Ormoc, and Tagum during the World Urban Forum in Katowice, Poland.
The briefers contain snapshots of the cities’ climate and disaster information, citywide adaptation strategy, details of urban project for climate resilience, socio-economic benefits of the project, and financial requirements.
Through the Building Climate Resiliency through Urban Plans and Designs (BCRUPD) Project, five partner cities were able to craft project proposals to promote climate resiliency in their localities.
