Extreme climate change impacts layered on existing socioeconomic vulnerabilities are becoming a new normal for cities in the global south. This reality has generated a new global consensus around the Sustainable Development Goals, New Urban Agenda and Sendai Framework to direct equitable resilience planning in global south cities. Yet, this developmental approach assumes that international frameworks automatically translate into local resilience planning processes and outputs. This presentation elevates the challenge of localization in Metro Manila and the urgency to appropriately conceive southern planners' capacity to foster resilient and equitable urbanisms.
Join us in person for this Spring 2023 CAPLA Lecture Series event, held in the CAPLA 103 Auditorium, 5:00-6:30 p.m. The event includes a reception in Sundt Gallery or Underwood Sonoran Garden.
