Explanation:
Whether or not disaster risk is factored into investment decisions in urban development will have a decisive influence on the future of disaster risk reduction (UNISDR, 2013)
A new wave of urbanisation is unfolding in hazard-exposed countries and with it, new opportunities for resilient investment emerge.
People, poverty and disaster risk are increasingly concentrated in cities. The growing rate of urbanization and the increase in population density (in cities) can lead to creation of risk, especially when urbanization is rapid, poorly planned and occurring in a context of widespread poverty. Growing concentrations of people and economic activities in many cities are seen to overlap with areas of high risk exposure.
Estimates suggest that by 2050, urban population exposed to cyclones will increase from 310 million to 680 million while exposure to major earthquake will increase from 370 million to 870 million (World Bank, 2013b). Urban development investment is also set to increase from US$7.2 trillion in 2011 to US$12 trillion by 2020. (UNISDR, 2013).
