Truly looking forward to chairing the upcoming World Federation of Engineering Organizations - CDRM webinar entitled 'Creating and implementing a decision support environment for risk-sensitive pro-poor urban planning and development of Tomorrow's Cities'.
Roberto Gentile, Gemma Cremen, Jamal Dabbeek, Karim Al-Jawharii and Mark Pelling will discuss the successful deployment of the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) in the city of Nablus, Palestine, a rapidly expanding urban area that lacks formal planning and is increasingly exposed to floods, earthquakes, and landslides.
The promising potential of the TCDSE to help minimize future urban risk creation in this context will be highlighted. The webinar will conclude with an open discussion on the general capabilities of the TCDSE to shape policy changes that ultimately lead to risk-informed urban futures.
When: 17/05/2024 - 12.00 pm BST
