Operationalizing risk sensitive land use planning and regulatory reforms

The session will explore the opportunities of translating risk sensitive land use planning (RSLUP) into practicable activities and investments for Bank operations. RSLUP and its planning instruments, such as zoning plans or buildings codes, can be effective in preventing the increase in exposure and vulnerability, and in reducing disaster risks under changing climate conditions and urban growth. At the same time, experience from practice shows that there is a large policy and regulatory delivery gap in RSLUP. Jointly led by the GFDRR City Resilience Program and Building Regulation for Resilience Program, this session lays out the conceptual underpinnings of RSLUP and showcases global examples which implement RSLUP concept on the ground. The session invite task teams with an interest in incorporating RSLUP in their Urban/DRM projects, and in exploring possibilities to leverage land use and physical planning as an integral part of their portfolio.
