4. Built Environment & Climate Resilient

The topic of discussion pertains to the relationship between the built environment and its ability to withstand and adapt to climate-related challenges. In the realm of Built Environment and Climate Resilience, a multitude of significant features come to the forefront. The implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction techniques plays a crucial role in protecting urban areas from the impact of natural disasters. Vernacular Architecture, which is firmly grounded in indigenous customs and practices, provides significant perspectives for the development of resilient construction methods.

 

Climate Responsive Architecture plays a pivotal role in the adaptation of structures to the specific climatic conditions of a given locality. The necessity to reconsider urban infrastructure arises from the effects of climate change on cities, characterized by increasing temperatures and occurrences of extreme weather events. The implementation of climate change policy and regulations serves as a catalyst for the adoption and promotion of sustainable construction techniques.

 

Urban Tactical Design and Planning is centered around the concept of creating city plans that are flexible and adaptable. On the other hand, Resilient Urban Planning places a high priority on incorporating green infrastructure and engaging with the community to enhance climate resilience. These approaches collectively contribute to the development of a more resilient built environment in response to climate challenges.
