Abstract Tomorrow’s Cities is the £20m United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) Global Challenge Fund (GCRF) Urban Disaster Risk Hub. The Hub aims to support delivery of Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals priorities 1 3 Sendai Framework for Reduction (DRR) 2015-2030. We work in four cities: Istanbul, Kathmandu, Nairobi, Quito. collaborate with local, national, global organisations strengthen disaster risk governance by undertaking integrated, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary research...
This paper argues for normative visioning as an underdeveloped component of adaptation planning. Multi-stakeholder and approaches to future offer generative moments when creativity can meet the power act required critical, including transformative, adaptation. Including methods with community city actors in planning allows alternative narratives development arise a basis deeper conversation potential action on root causes vulnerability risk. A specific approach is tested four megacities –...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has positive and negative effects on social, economic, environmental, ecological systems, will increase with urban expansion. In this study, we used a multi-spectral 1.5 m resolution night-time acquisition from Jilin-1 satellite over the city of Quito, Ecuador, to evaluate spatial lighting patterns in an expanding topography complex-built environment. We demonstrated requirement for robust georeferencing orthorectification due complex topography, errors order...
Abstract. Greenspaces within broader ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) strategies provide multiple benefits to society, biodiversity, and addressing climate breakdown. In this study, we investigated urban growth, its intersection with hazards, the availability of greenspace for (DRR) in city Quito, Ecuador, which experiences hazards including landslides, floods, volcanoes, earthquakes. We used satellite data quantify sprawl developed a workflow incorporating high-resolution...
La expansión urbana en Latinoamérica es un fenómeno que se ha hecho más visible durante las últimas décadas; Ecuador, materializado con la generación de nuevas ciudades intermedias, a lo largo ejes antes inexistentes. Este crecimiento está relacionado el asentamiento nuevos barrios sobre áreas amenazadas. Lo expuesto dado lugar al cuestionamiento los métodos medición del riesgo y su naturalización, desarrollo una propuesta teórico-metodológica coadyuva problematizar complejizar construcción...
Latin America and the Caribbean is one of regions threatened most by natural events owing to highly vulnerable circumstances its urban centres. Consequently, cities are occasionally affected or more disaster types, exposing problems governance public policy in relation risk management. The aim this research investigate factors that influence design post-disaster policies. It hypothesises those countries with modes characterised greater articulation between State non-State actors, policies...
Los asentamientos informales en América Latina generalmente presentan altos niveles de vulnerabilidad la medida que se encuentran ubicados zonas multiamenaza. Frente a esta problemática, plantea analizar qué manera ha construido el riesgo desastres periurbano ciudad Quito. Mediante un diseño metodológico carácter mixto, analiza caso parroquia Condado y barrio Colinas del Norte. La información cualitativa, cuantitativa socioespacial procesada permite evidenciar distintas escalas que, si bien...

Los desafíos para generar políticas públicas enfocadas a transformar las ciudades latinoamericanas en sostenibles, son cada vez mayores. La problemática se complejiza un contexto global de desigualdad y pobreza, donde los impactos la expansión urbana informal, tornan una problemáticas centrales resolver por parte gobiernos locales. Por ello, varias ciudades, han realizado esfuerzos planes piloto revertir situaciones vulnerabilidad cohesión social necesaria preparar sus habitantes ante...
