Designing resilient cities amid climate change

Asia Society and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) gathered experts from across the globe in Manila on Wednesday for the second Pacific Cities Sustainability Initiative (PCSI) Forum to increase awareness of the need to build more resilient cities amid the challenges posed by climate change.

A highlight of the forum was the launch of a “livable and resilient cities competition” to encourage city planners across the country to design and prepare better in the face of climate change and more frequent natural disasters.
