The annual number of natural disasters around the world has doubled since 1980. How can we plan and design stronger communities that will stand up to future events? Join us for a discussion on resilience in cities and how communities can prepare to reduce the impacts of a disaster, shorten their recovery time and minimize their vulnerability. Co-presented by Island Press.
