Abstract

Urban environments are often the “hotspots” of vulnerability to extreme events in terms of human and material costs. This fact reflect a number of factors, including climate change, rapid urbanization often poorly planned, and, importantly, a general lack of assessment tools and measures that would enhance resilience and adaptation capacities of urban centers. The international and interdisciplinary cooperation are considered in order to improve adaptive capacity and resilience.
