 Why do natural disasters strike with such devastating impacts on our cities? Is it only because storms are stronger, floodwaves are higher or droughts are longer? Are we increasingly facing too much or too little water? Possibly. So how do we embed climate-resilient and designed principles when rebuilding disaster-struck urban areas? This dedicated course aimed at professionals in the fields of DRR, urban planning and management and urban climate change adaptation focuses on clearing the gap between disaster-risk response and resilient planning. The course is a first course in a new collaboration between IHC Delft and the Institute for Water Education and the HEAD Foundation in Singapore. Welcome to Water Resilient Recovery.
