Future Proofing Cities

Posted: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 5:19 pm

This is the Executive Summary of Future Proofing Cities. Atkins and UCL’s Development Planning Unit in partnership with the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), have built on their collective work on urban areas and the environment to explore how cities in the developing world might better assess – in a holistic way – the environmental risks relevant to them and the combinations of policies likely to be most effective in promoting inclusive urban development. This report outlines a five stage future proofing approach to help cities develop programmes of investment which meet their multiple objectives and utilise and build on the institutional capacities they have available.
