GCRF Urban Disaster Risk Hub

Title	Caminos del agua/Waterways
Description	Collaborative exhibit in the YAKU Museum of Water, about the rivers in changing scales from South America to a neighbourhood of Quito, including the topography, the volcanoes, highlands rich in water, and seismic faults, the history of urban development of Quito in relation to these rivers and ravines, and the experience of community recovery of one of these spaces. The exhibit was in place from August to November 2022, with 13236 visitors. It was a collaborative exhibit with community engagement in a neighbourhood that recovered one ravine as a public park, artists and architects, and Conservation NGOs as well as the museum itself.
Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2022
Impact	The impacts have to do with community engagement around the issue of water management, and disaster risk, as well as urban development in these areas. we had exchanges between communities at risk from consolidated and expanding zones in Quito and discussed how to design urban spaces that take into consideration risk and these waterways and their ecosystems to help reduce landslides and alluvions.

Description	This exhibit was co-produced with participants of the Gender, intersectionality and risk workshops financed by GRRIPP network. The exhibit presented the process of the workshops in a video, a timeline of disaster events and major urban developments with the experiences of the participants, a map of the city and where they lived and how they saw themselves and their homes, objects of care and their neghbourhoods drawn and painted by them identifying the vulnerable neighbours, the hazards, and their community spaces. It was open for the month of September 2022, and was also the host to guided visits of people from different neighbourhoods, and municipal personel.
Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2022
Impact	551 people visited the exhibit, many of those visitors came from peripherical neighbourhoods of Quito from people with socio-economic vulnerabilities. 18 people attended the workshops on gender, intersectionality and risk and co-produced the exhibit. They attended also a capacity building workshop on human rights and disaster risk. Architects and urban planners, and municipality staff were also sensibilized to the needs and expectations from women, and men from different age groups, race, ethnic identity, migrant status and socio-economic status related on how they live the city and disaster risk. The Municipality attended and listened to the participants, and approached the Tomorrow's Cities team saying that they would like for them to use these participatory methodologies in places where they are developing urban plans that consider risk.

Title	Reducing Risks in Quito
Description	The digital platform reflects the interdisciplinary and co-productive work of the Quito team. It was developed with the objective of raising awareness about the relationship between urban development and disaster risk for new generations, with the aim of becoming an important communication tool to inform risk prevention. It was put together through a series of workshops with two pilot schools in Quito so it is tailored for teenagers through multimedia content including podcasts, interactive timelines and maps. It is designed to be used in the classroom to use examples from disaster risk to teach within different subject areas (Science, Literature, Physics, Social sciences/humanities). In this way, the platform combines the knowledge generated through the synergy established between different researchers from the Tomorrow's Cities, coming from different areas of expertise (historians, geologists, civil engineers, visual anthropologists, pedagogists, artists and web designers) and school children and teachers. It draws from historical testimonies, maps, satellite images and past photographs, as well as event datasets, to imagine future scenarios and the impact of urban planning decision on future risk. The interactive dimension of the platform incorporates exercises and surveys to reflect on how risk knowledge can be included in decision making processes.
Type Of Art	Artefact (including digital)
Year Produced	2022
Impact	This platform is designed as an educational tool for use in school settings. Courses have been held with teachers from local schools on the use of the platform.

Description	In 23/24, the Hub experienced a moment of punctuated equilibrium where its activities became more visible as a result of the earthquake in Turkey. One of our planned knowledge exchange activities, a public exhibition received increased interest and continues to be invited to showcase its lessons at various venues. This momentum was also visible as new stakeholders from within and out with Turkey sought the expertise of the Istanbul team. We would remiss if we did not mention Prof. John McCloskey who led the Hub until his passing away in December 2023. John's decades old research was frequently cited in the media reports and was used a testament to the importance of seismic forecasting. We are especially motivated by the goal of honouring John's legacy. The value of the TCDSE lies in being able to engage with complexity, while being grounded in empirical validity. We are finalising the demonstration of the TCDSE cycles in our pilot sites and using lessons and partners from the 'learning cities' to begin cycles in new sites. The new cities include Chittogram and Coz Bazaar, Bangladesh; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Nablus, Palestine and Rapti, Nepal. We have also increased our engagement with institutions at regional and global scales. This section summarises outcomes emerging from those engagements and includes additional information about how the Hub is proceeding with its legacy phase. 1. Societal and Economic Impact • Our work in Istanbul, Khokana and Quito is approaching conclusion. We have achieved all the outcome goals identified in the Theory of Change, and many of our lessons about how to implement the TCDSE have emerged from those experiences. In March 2023, Khokana visioning booklet was launched by the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and the Ward chair of Khokana, Lalitpur Metropolitan City (LMC) illustrating how much value is being placed on methods for participatory decision-making. • In Nairobi, 2.5 million people live in informal settlements ('slums') such as Mukuru and Kibera, where fire and floods pose a daily threat to residents. This year we developed a physics-based, fire spread model, produced a fire hazard map of Nairobi and determined the optimal fire station locations for effective response. • In March 2023, WP2 policy workshops were held in Istanbul and Nairobi. They validated the results of the future visioning workshops held in the previous year with various disaggregated social groups. The policy validation workshops include policy makers, and participants are invited to further interrogate their visions against spatializations on 2D land use maps. This presents a strategic opportunity for the community and the policy makers to dialogue on the visions developed by the various social groups. Policy makers echoed views expressed in Quito where they were taken aback by how closely the Visioning Scenario Development processes produced outcomes that align with their own perspectives. The output of validation workshops are revised land use maps. • In September 2023, around 40 participants (practitioners, councillors, community persons, NGO representatives, and researchers from over 10 countries in Africa and Europe) joined a peer learning event hosted by the Municipality of Temeke and Ardhi University in Dar es Salaam. The exchange was the result of a collaboration between Tomorrow's Cities Urban Risk Hub, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), and UCLG Africa. The partners engaged in this peer learning will continue to collaborate, sharing what they have learned with city leaders and planners. Specifically: o National and regional local government associations will inform and promote lessons using events and organizing short learning opportunities around different aspects of the future-oriented, risk-sensitive, and participatory approach to planning discussed during the event. o Universities connected to Tomorrow's Cities will continue supporting cities in scenario building and future-oriented risk assessments while documenting and producing contextual and actionable research around the challenges and progress the local and regional governments face. o There will be efforts to connect the findings of these different exchanges to develop an action-oriented agenda on climate change and future visioning. o Tomorrow's Cities will develop a simple communication and learning methodology as part of its legacy strategy in order to reach out to more political leaders and technical staff. • New city, Rapti is the new capital city the Lumbini Province. The province was at an early phase of developing the infrastructure development Master Plan of the city. Working directly with the Tomorrow's Cities team, the Provincial Infrastructure Development Authority (PIDA) have been able to modify the masterplan process to implement an elaborate participatory and science-based approach using the TCDSE. Rapti is exposed to various geophysical and hydro-meteorological extreme events, as well as climatic and non-climatic hazards, which have the potential to escalate into disasters. The local governments from Rapti & Gadhawa Rural Municipalities and Shitaganga Municipality are the key stakeholders of the collaboration: "We have an opportunity to develop our city for future generations. It is our responsibility to lay a strong foundation for tomorrow's Rapti and this collaboration with Tomorrow's Cities will help us doing that." Indrajit Tharu (Rapti Constituency Representative and former Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Development. The planners also asked us to explore the impact of the building of embankments to limit future flood risk. The implications of these hazard models are part of ongoing discussions and iterations of the TCDSE cycle. • New city, Nablus, is the second largest city in Palestine in terms of population and land area. Despite the significant unrest, economic challenges, and geopolitical constraints, the city has witnessed an 80% increase in the number of buildings between 1997 and 2017. This unprecedented growth is threatened by the potential devastating consequences of earthquakes, landslides and flash floods. With that in mind, Nablus joined Tomorrow's Cities in 2023 and has completed the Future Visioning activities conducted by The Urban Planning and Disaster Risk Reduction Center of Nablus, An-Najah National University, Palestine, who is the local partner. The activities were conducted in collaboration with the international team alongside the participation of the Palestinian team and a diverse group of representatives from the local community. 2. Sustainable Development Goals The TCDSE facilitates the democratisation of urban risk planning better to reflect the priorities of the urban poor. The urban planning imaginaries of future cities often exclude the marginalised. Those who live in informal settlements are particularly invisible. In all our cities, TCDSE workshops create spaces for such social groups to be recognised, and democratised understandings of risk empower them to use their priorities to influence decision-making processes from which they are normally excluded. Our work incorporates several SDGs: Building resilience of the poor (1.5) including strengthening gender equality (5C); reducing human and economic losses in cities (11.5), through disaster management (11.B and 13.1) and climate change adaptation plans (13.2) with strengthened communication; and capacity building for climate change adaptation integrated into broader development activities (9A, 13.3). As one of our stakeholder commented: "We fully support Tomorrow's Cities Hub, and we recognise its importance in achieving sustainable development and mitigating future risks" Eng. Majdi Al-Saleh, Minister for Local Government, Palestinian Authority 3. Gender Equality and EDI The disaggregation of social identities and inequalities is a crucial step towards more inclusive urban planning. The TCDSE was designed with this in mind. In each city, the views of different, relevant and often marginalised groups are sought. The context of each city determines how gender considerations are integrated. Four dimensions from critical justice theory (Schlosberg, 2007; Fraser, 2009) are used to frame our understanding of equity: distribution, participation, recognition, and capabilities. Recognition entails identifying the different voices and experiences that can be found both in the present and in the future (considering changing demographics) within a particular area. A contextualised understanding of socio-spatial diversity leads to a refined assessment of the different aspirations that people have for the future. Participation is about valuing the process of exchanging knowledge and negotiating what a good future looks like, as well as learning about the consequences of different decisions when it comes to risk. This requires seeing all social groups as peers and raising marginalised voices. Distribution entails asking 'who gets what' in the future city. Through the Tomorrow's Cities framework we explore the distribution of infrastructural and environmental assets as well as the distribution of risk across space for different scenarios and hazard events. Capabilities refers to the knowledges that are exchanged though the core framework and to the skills that built through a series of trainings and capacity strengthening engagements. In some cities, women-only workshops are the preference as they provide women with safe spaces to express their particular interests. For instance, in Istanbul we organised separate workshops for women and elderly women. In other cities, gender-inclusive workshops are better for demonstrating parity and the importance of valuing women's perspectives. This was the case in Kathmandu, Nairobi and Quito. We have co-developed these workshops alongside municipal authorities and using official channels in an attempt to ensure that these dialogues continue beyond the life of the Hub and are integrated into urban planning policy. Whilst the TCDSE was developed with close attention to the need for a disaggregation of social identities and inequalities, the Hub has just finished designing A Gender Pathway document. This document, co-designed with the local Bangladesh teams and trialed in Cox's Bazaar and Chittagong, guide those using the TCDSE who wish to explicitly emphasise gendered aspects of risk and decision-making.

Impact	"Melamchi Municipality faced mega flood disaster in June, 2021. Large part of Municipality has swept away in the flood water, and remaining part become the river bank with sand and bounders. On June 15, 2021, a disastrous debris flow occurred along the Melamchi River in central Nepal. The debris flow event lasted for some 10 hours and caused enormous losses of lives and property in the river exposed communities across the Melamchi Watershed. As a results of cascading disaster ( Earthquake in 2015, landslide block river, and then burst the dam in June 2021), with huge loss and damaged occurred-at least 350 residential buildings, half a dozen of bridges, and many infrastructures. Responding to such mega disaster, the Melamchi Municipality formed a multi-disciplinary expert team, where I was one of the member in expert group to advise from climate change and early warning perspective. We are continuously provide advise on risk sensitive settlement in future, some of our expert members went to upstream of the watershed, did a geological study, and shared the findings. All, these makes the Municipality to build confidence on future settlement planning, and convincing to community people about the possible future flood risk in the area."

The Museo Interactivo de Ciencias had the exhibit during July 2021-February 2022, with a total of 14630 visitors, and later this year, invited Tomorrow's Cities to participate in the activities of the Disaster risk management day in February on a 3 day event with schools on the subject. The Museo de la Ciudad had the exhibit during August 2021-February 2022, with a total of 23838 visitors. It has kept 3 installations in the permanent exhibit up to now. Also, they have incorporated on their own a new introductory video to the permanent exhibit that talks about the geographical setting of Quito and its historical relationship with volcanoes, ravines and rivers, an active seismic fault and steep topography, and the resources and hazards associated to them. The Carmen Alto Museum had the exhibit during May-November 2021, with a total of 6800 visitors and then incorporated two installations in their permanent exhibit. The digital educational platform reducirriesgosenquito.com impact can be measured with its social media accounts as well as Platform traffic: 18,000 visits, 54,000 events, Facebook: 480 likes, 599 followers, Instagram:261 followers We conducted a training course for 21 school teachers from 13 different schools in Quito, both municipal and state run schools for them to use the platform and teach about disaster risk prevention in history, social science, science, math and literature courses. We talked to the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education and Quito Municipal Secretary of Education to promote the use of this tool for disaster risk education and prevention in schools. Their representatives were involved in the launch of the platform. With this experience, we've just been invited to produce an exhibit and memorial for the La Gasca aluvion from January 2022 of more than 30 fatalities, and more than 50 people affected. We are working with the Municipality and the Chamber of Industry to produce together with the community some activities, memorial and exhibit so they can share their story and learn from this experience by sharing how to develop the city to avoid these type of disasters.

Description	Tomorrow's Chattogram: Applying the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment to reduce disaster risk and enhance resilience in Chattogram, Bangladesh
Organisation	Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology
Country	Bangladesh
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	The international team of the Tomorrow's Cities Hub have partnered with Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology to apply the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) to a development area in the city of Chattogram, Bangladesh. The TCDSE is a flexible framework to support inclusive and evidence-based decision making, leading to a low-disaster-risk and more equitable urban development. The TCDSE aims to facilitate multi-sectoral, people centred, evidence based, transparent and accountable decision-making. Acknowledging the systemic nature of the causes of disasters, Tomorrow's Cities advocates for and facilitates inclusive, multi-sectoral engagement of scientists, engineers, politicians, economists, private sector groups and, critically, representatives of the urban citizens who will live in the cities we will help to plan. Tomorrow's Cities "International Research Team"(IRT): Comprises of 20+ technical, research and operational support personnel deployed to work on the city program from around the world. The IRT work with the in-city team and support the application of the TCDSE by providing: • Research leadership in each of the core work packages of the TCDSE methodology • Training and mentoring to the local city team and city stakeholders through a linked and carefully structured Capacity Strengthening Programme to build understanding and fill capacity gaps so that ownership of the TCDSE passes to the city teams. • support to help guide national, municipal and community actors through the programme, building capacity and commitment in local communities, municipalities and universities. • Full financial, administrative and project management support throughout Through this collaboration, the Tomorrow's Cities international team will support the local city team to develop: • An action plan to continue the implementation of the TCDSE throughout the completion of the development project being supported. • A co-produced process to replicate the TCDSE, with appropriate local context adaptations, in any other development project. • A trained team of local professionals, with appropriate support from the local university, capable of delivering the TCDSE in such other development projects.
Collaborator Contribution	Local City Team in Chattogram is led by Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology from a research perspective, working closely with key city authorities and practitioners: Chattogram City Development Authority; Chattogram City Corporation; Chattogram Water Supply and Sewerage Authority; Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology; University of Dhaka Towards the goal of reducing disaster risk for the poor in tomorrow's Chattogram, this team work with the International Team from Tomorrow's Cities Hub to provide: The authority for action that is required if the outcomes of the TCDSE are to be implemented to facilitate low-risk urban planning in the City. Contact point for local stakeholder engagement and involvement of community groups and other city practitioners Provide contact points for administrative, financial, and communication purposes throughout the project Be responsible for the delivery of the TCDSE in the city, providing the key project information: - Desired outputs and outcomes; - Proposition of case study site with supporting information; - Institutional critique: challenges (communication, relationships, data and knowledge) to be overcome through Tomorrow's Cities engagement; and - Legacy Vehicle which will continue the work of Tomorrow's Cities). The team provide the multidisciplinary research expertise capable of collaboratively delivering with the International TC team, each stage of the TCDSE in-city, including data management: Future Visioning (Stage 1): participatory engagements that explore desired urban futures with different city stakeholders, incorporating expectations for land uses and critical urban assets, as well as expected policies to tackle the negative impacts of future natural hazards. Visioning Scenarios (Stage 2): render these desired futures into detailed virtual representations that make Future Visions more realistic and connected to data-driven trends. Computational Model & Computed Impact Metrics (Stage 3): subjects Visioning Scenarios to earthquake, flood and landslide events. This leads to an understanding of the consequences of the decisions made during future visioning and scenario building before a brick is laid. Maps of damage states combined with different impact metrics (number of casualties, of displaced households, etc) enable a clear visualisation of the spatial distribution of impact and help diagnose risk drivers back through complex causal chains in urban decision-making. Risk Agreement and Learning (Stage 4) opens up a collective definition of risk that accounts for the objective impact of hazards and the subjective priorities of key community and institutional groups that engaged with the TCDSE. Using digital tools, stakeholders unpack the consequences of spatial and policy decisions and how they increase or decrease disaster risk. They also assess the equity of the distribution of risk across space and the impacts of planning decisions on poor and disadvantaged communities in the event of natural hazard events, earthquakes, landslides or floods. The city team will then repeat Stage 1, modifying some aspects of the future vision. These modifications then lead to changes in the visioning scenarios. The new visioning scenarios are now exposed to the same hazard events and the impacts metrics are recalculated. This leads to both a refined understanding of critical decisions leading to risk, and to discussions about how to transfer that learning into the actual decision environment of cities. This helps to promote policy uptake by institutions. The process can be repeated as often as required so that these new insights into decisions and their consequences lead to safer development planning and better decision making. Institutionalisation (Stage 5) happens once stakeholders have learned enough from the process of iteration, and supports the uptake of the concrete lessons and outputs from the TCDSE (e.g., actual plans and policy ideas into their institutional environments for a process of pro-poor risk reduction that is meaningful and long-lasting.
Impact	https://tomorrowscities.org/roundtable-bangladesh This partnership aims to apply the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) to inform future development. The TCDSE is a product of interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at achieving the methodological integration necessary for a process that aims to reduce future disaster risk. The TCDSE requires the mobilisation of different actors, now and in the future who hold a variety of priorities and expertise. The TCDSE is a boundary object in which interdisciplinarity significantly modifies the approach of all these actors. This leads to a sum which is greater than its parts. The first stages of the TCDSE aimed at understanding the context, its needs and plans using social science techniques. The next stages are aimed at developing impact metrics based on physical data and engineering techniques. All these phases generate evidence-backed policy advice. The whole process requires a very clear focus on the overall challenge. Consequently, this partnership includes expertise from: social sciences, physical sciences, engineering, political science, and stakeholders from local city public and policy institutions.

Collaborator Contribution	Local City Team in Nablus is led by An-Najah National University from a research perspective, working closely with key city authorities and practitioners: Ministry of Local Governance (MoLG) Municipal Development and Lending Fund (MDLF); National Center Disaster Risk Management (NDRRMC); North Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO) Towards the goal of reducing disaster risk for the poor in tomorrow's Nablus, this team work with the International Team from Tomorrow's Cities Hub to provide: The authority for action that is required if the outcomes of the TCDSE are to be implemented to facilitate low-risk urban planning in the City. Contact point for local stakeholder engagement and involvement of community groups and other city practitioners Provide contact points for administrative, financial, and communication purposes throughout the project Be responsible for the delivery of the TCDSE in the city, providing the key project information: - Desired outputs and outcomes; - Proposition of case study site with supporting information; - Institutional critique: challenges (communication, relationships, data and knowledge) to be overcome through Tomorrow's Cities engagement; and - Legacy Vehicle which will continue the work of Tomorrow's Cities). The team provide the multidisciplinary research expertise capable of collaboratively delivering with the International TC team, each stage of the TCDSE in-city, including data management: Future Visioning (Stage 1): participatory engagements that explore desired urban futures with different city stakeholders, incorporating expectations for land uses and critical urban assets, as well as expected policies to tackle the negative impacts of future natural hazards. Visioning Scenarios (Stage 2): render these desired futures into detailed virtual representations that make Future Visions more realistic and connected to data-driven trends. Computational Model & Computed Impact Metrics (Stage 3): subjects Visioning Scenarios to earthquake, flood and landslide events. This leads to an understanding of the consequences of the decisions made during future visioning and scenario building before a brick is laid. Maps of damage states combined with different impact metrics (number of casualties, of displaced households, etc) enable a clear visualisation of the spatial distribution of impact and help diagnose risk drivers back through complex causal chains in urban decision-making. Risk Agreement and Learning (Stage 4) opens up a collective definition of risk that accounts for the objective impact of hazards and the subjective priorities of key community and institutional groups that engaged with the TCDSE. Using digital tools, stakeholders unpack the consequences of spatial and policy decisions and how they increase or decrease disaster risk. They also assess the equity of the distribution of risk across space and the impacts of planning decisions on poor and disadvantaged communities in the event of natural hazard events, earthquakes, landslides or floods. The city team will then repeat Stage 1, modifying some aspects of the future vision. These modifications then lead to changes in the visioning scenarios. The new visioning scenarios are now exposed to the same hazard events and the impacts metrics are recalculated. This leads to both a refined understanding of critical decisions leading to risk, and to discussions about how to transfer that learning into the actual decision environment of cities. This helps to promote policy uptake by institutions. The process can be repeated as often as required so that these new insights into decisions and their consequences lead to safer development planning and better decision making. Institutionalisation (Stage 5) happens once stakeholders have learned enough from the process of iteration, and supports the uptake of the concrete lessons and outputs from the TCDSE (e.g., actual plans and policy ideas into their institutional environments for a process of pro-poor risk reduction that is meaningful and long-lasting.

The TCDSE is a product of interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at achieving the methodological integration necessary for a process that aims to reduce future disaster risk. The TCDSE requires the mobilisation of different actors, now and in the future who hold a variety of priorities and expertise. The TCDSE is a boundary object in which interdisciplinarity significantly modifies the approach of all these actors. This leads to a sum which is greater than its parts. The first stages of the TCDSE aimed at understanding the context, its needs and plans using social science techniques.

Organisation	Ardhi University
Country	Tanzania, United Republic of
Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	Tomorrow's Cities and the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) General Secretariat, together with UCLG-Africa joined forces in three-day event especially dedicated to participatory, risk-informed urban planning in African cities. During the event, members of the Tomororw's Cities International Team presented the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment framework with participants having the opportunity to experience first-hand the Hub's Future Visioning and Visioning Scenario Development stages. Following this event, UCLG approached Tomorrow's Cities to co-develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) introducing Tomorrow's Cities future-oriented and participatory risk-informed planning approach. Towards this objective, Tomorrow's Cities will provide all the required technical content necessary to develop the course content, based on the Tomorrow's Cities Capacity Strengthening programme. This capacity strengthening programme titled the "Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) Course" aims to enhance the capacity of professionals in partner cities, including academics, practitioners, and policy professionals in utilizing the TCDSE to capacitate local teams in the adaption and deployment of the TCDSE methodology. The course has been developed to train the city professionals from various disciplines and/ or institutions that are working together in City development and planning and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) sectors. All national and international TC hub members have contributed to developing this course, with the major contributions from the work package leads, module leads and work package teams.
Collaborator Contribution	Between September 28-30, 2023, around 40 participants joined the peer learning event hosted by the Municipality of Temeke and Ardhi University in Dar es Salaam. The exchange was the result of a collaboration between Tomorrow's Cities Urban Risk Hub, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and UCLG Africa. This collaboration builds on UCLG's city-to-city learning approach and the ongoing efforts by local and regional governments in Africa to localize the global agendas for sustainable development (Agenda 2030), resilience and disaster risk reduction (Sendai Framework for DRR), and climate action (Paris Agreement). Complimenting it with the research and methodologies developed around future-oriented participatory risk informed urban planning within the Tomorrow's Cities hub, and the "pathways to equality" coming out from the GOLD VI report. As a continuation of this collaboration, UCLG are working with Tomorrow's Cities to develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) introducing Tomorrow's Cities future-oriented and participatory risk-informed planning approach. Once developed this MOOC will be uploaded on UCLG's #LearningWithUCLG platform, and will be available in English, French, and Spanish. Towards this output, UCLG will provide the technical infrastructure, including access to their learning platform, and will facilitate collaboration between Tomorrow's Cities and a learning consultant to develop the course content based on previous learning from across the UCLG learning platform. UCLG will also be responsible for the formal launch of the course and translation from English into Spanish and French. UCLG will provide expertise to work collaboratively with the Tomorrow's Cities team to produce quality self-learning materials developed on the basis of the review, selection and adjustment of the available existing guides and materials on Tomorrow's Cities methodology, including instructors' modules, presentations and implementation experiences with partner cities. The self-learning materials will be hosted in UCLG Learning's platform and benefit from UCLG's experience developing interactive learning resources and existing learning communities among local and regional governments. The specific objectives of this assignment are: 1. Review existing content (written material, audiovisual, graphic, bibliographic references, etc.) to identify key learning objectives for respective audiences, and define a general framework and pedagogical structure for the MOOC to be developed. 2. Adapt existing materials to an easy-to-follow format, focusing on key highlights and messages for local and regional governments, and develop the necessary audiovisual and interactive resources to foster deeper learning and reflections based on the framework and contents previously defined. 3. Upload the finalized self-paced course into the platform, making it accessible to UCLG's constituency and other interested partners as a free-to-access self-paced online course, linking it up with existing contents and ongoing activities. It is anticipated that the MOOC will be launched in September 2024 as a legacy product of the Hub project.

PI Contribution	Tomorrow's Cities and the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) General Secretariat, together with UCLG-Africa joined forces in three-day event especially dedicated to participatory, risk-informed urban planning in African cities. During the event, members of the Tomororw's Cities International Team presented the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment framework with participants having the opportunity to experience first-hand the Hub's Future Visioning and Visioning Scenario Development stages. Following this event, UCLG approached Tomorrow's Cities to co-develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) introducing Tomorrow's Cities future-oriented and participatory risk-informed planning approach. Towards this objective, Tomorrow's Cities will provide all the required technical content necessary to develop the course content, based on the Tomorrow's Cities Capacity Strengthening programme. This capacity strengthening programme titled the "Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) Course" aims to enhance the capacity of professionals in partner cities, including academics, practitioners, and policy professionals in utilizing the TCDSE to capacitate local teams in the adaption and deployment of the TCDSE methodology. The course has been developed to train the city professionals from various disciplines and/ or institutions that are working together in City development and planning and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) sectors. All national and international TC hub members have contributed to developing this course, with the major contributions from the work package leads, module leads and work package teams.
Collaborator Contribution	Between September 28-30, 2023, around 40 participants joined the peer learning event hosted by the Municipality of Temeke and Ardhi University in Dar es Salaam. The exchange was the result of a collaboration between Tomorrow's Cities Urban Risk Hub, United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and UCLG Africa. This collaboration builds on UCLG's city-to-city learning approach and the ongoing efforts by local and regional governments in Africa to localize the global agendas for sustainable development (Agenda 2030), resilience and disaster risk reduction (Sendai Framework for DRR), and climate action (Paris Agreement). Complimenting it with the research and methodologies developed around future-oriented participatory risk informed urban planning within the Tomorrow's Cities hub, and the "pathways to equality" coming out from the GOLD VI report. As a continuation of this collaboration, UCLG are working with Tomorrow's Cities to develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) introducing Tomorrow's Cities future-oriented and participatory risk-informed planning approach. Once developed this MOOC will be uploaded on UCLG's #LearningWithUCLG platform, and will be available in English, French, and Spanish. Towards this output, UCLG will provide the technical infrastructure, including access to their learning platform, and will facilitate collaboration between Tomorrow's Cities and a learning consultant to develop the course content based on previous learning from across the UCLG learning platform. UCLG will also be responsible for the formal launch of the course and translation from English into Spanish and French. UCLG will provide expertise to work collaboratively with the Tomorrow's Cities team to produce quality self-learning materials developed on the basis of the review, selection and adjustment of the available existing guides and materials on Tomorrow's Cities methodology, including instructors' modules, presentations and implementation experiences with partner cities. The self-learning materials will be hosted in UCLG Learning's platform and benefit from UCLG's experience developing interactive learning resources and existing learning communities among local and regional governments. The specific objectives of this assignment are: 1. Review existing content (written material, audiovisual, graphic, bibliographic references, etc.) to identify key learning objectives for respective audiences, and define a general framework and pedagogical structure for the MOOC to be developed. 2. Adapt existing materials to an easy-to-follow format, focusing on key highlights and messages for local and regional governments, and develop the necessary audiovisual and interactive resources to foster deeper learning and reflections based on the framework and contents previously defined. 3. Upload the finalized self-paced course into the platform, making it accessible to UCLG's constituency and other interested partners as a free-to-access self-paced online course, linking it up with existing contents and ongoing activities. It is anticipated that the MOOC will be launched in September 2024 as a legacy product of the Hub project.

Results and Impact	"The Tomororw's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) methodology aims to reduce risk in future urban developments, using a collaborative and co-creation approach with the involvement of local stakeholders, giving voice not only to the planning authorities, municipalities, the government and the private sector, but also to the communities who will live in these future cities. Future Visioning is the first stage of the TCDSE. It is a co-production, people-centric process whereby stakeholders, including influential and marginalized urban voices, gather to collectively imagine, discuss, and propose visions for the future aimed at reducing disaster risk. In December 2023 future visioning workshops were held in Chittagong (Bangladesh) with 82 representatives from four segregated groups (informal workers, civil society, farmer and fishermen, landless). Each group shared their views through individual river, collective river, wheel of urban assets, visioning statement, hazard brainstorming, co-mapping, and policy exercises."

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	The Tomororw's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) methodology aims to reduce risk in future urban developments, using a collaborative and co-creation approach with the involvement of local stakeholders, giving voice not only to the planning authorities, municipalities, the government and the private sector, but also to the communities who will live in these future cities. A key stage in the method is the 'risk agreement' workshops which bring city stakeholders together to collectively assess the risk modelling results, including Impact Metrics. This workshop consisted of the following objectives: (1) Apply the exercise-priority game designed for risk negotiation, promoting a receptive and empathetic attitude that allows different voices to be heard. (2) Open dialogue between different actors around risk, for responsible and conscious decision-making that contributes to the urban planning of the neighbourhood and city. (3) Debate about different scenarios integrating disaster risk due to natural hazards, in order to reach common agreements. The main outcome of this activity was the creation of a space where actors were open to dialogue, flexible and sensitive to the dynamics that were proposed as well as the importance of the articulation of all actors in making conscious and responsible decisions. It was very interesting to see the community members so empowered and involved in participating in the exercises, as well as the members of the institutional roundtables who were very open to listening. As a final reflection, it was thought that the negotiation exercise could possibly lead to joint work on the elaboration of another scenario that includes the conclusions and needs that were raised at the time of negotiation. Considering the risk factors due to natural hazards, the socio-economic factors that mark the dynamics of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood and the competencies and obligations that imply the articulation with public institutions.

The participants included key researchers from the Istanbul team, as well as members of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and involved engagement with the community leader from a local case-study site, during a site visit. Beyond increasing understanding of the role of communication as a process (i.e. not merely an output) within challenge-led research, participants reported a shift in perspective on the impact that their research and co-production activities were aiming to achieve. We also believe that a key relationship was formed with the community leader, who could play a strong role in the community engagement activities of the Hub. Strong relationships were also formed with two experts in risk communication, who helped deliver the workshop, which provides potential access to global networks in this area as well as potential collaborations on risk communication in Nepal and Kenya.

Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	The Tomororw's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) methodology aims to reduce risk in future urban developments, using a collaborative and co-creation approach with the involvement of local stakeholders, giving voice not only to the planning authorities, municipalities, the government and the private sector, but also to the communities who will live in these future cities. A key stage in the method is the 'risk agreement' workshops which bring city stakeholders together to collectively assess the risk modelling results, including Impact Metrics. In the city of Nairobi (Kenya), the TCDSE has been applied to a development area within a slum settlement called Kibera. This risk agreement workshop was aimed at facilitating a dynamic interaction between the Kibera community groups and the computational risk outcomes, consequently enhancing their comprehension of the drivers of impacts and the various effects on the different visioning scenarios they had developed. The workshop also presented an opportunity for the participants to identify potential policy modifications, both spatial and non-spatial from the above interaction.

Results and Impact	The 7th session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP2022) took place from the 23rd-28th May 2022, organized and convened by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and co-chaired by the Government of Indonesia. Tomorrow's Cities Hub hosted this official side-event of GPDRR2022, as a hybrid in-person and online session. The Sendai Framework urges national and subnational governments to address the understanding, quantification and appropriate policies and interventions to manage systemic risk. To open a constructive dialogue on entry points for decision making and action arising from work on multi-hazard urban risk reduction, this session brought together a diversity of perspectives drawing on the experiences of various stakeholders learning from the UKRI-GCRF Tomorrow's Cities Hub. The session advocated that a better understanding of systemic risk can be achieved by promoting people-centred decision making that accounts for the dynamic interactions between multiple hazards, vulnerabilities, capacities, and impacts across space. Our collective experience confirms that this framing enables policy actors to address the challenge of mainstreaming multi-hazard risk reduction into urban planning and development. This primarily consists of opening spaces for actors to engage in collaborative processes that bring local voices and science into policymaking at both city and national levels. This webinar was broadcast in English, with Spanish, and Nepali translation available. 56 attendees participated online with a further 40 in-person.

Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	On 7 August 2020 the Nairobi Risk Hub hosted a consortium of stakeholders at the The Nairobi Visioning Workshop. The workshop brought together key policy actors drawn from the National and County Governments, civil society, UN agencies, professional societies, the private sector and academia. This workshop facilitated the stakeholders to identify a shared vision for a future resilient Nairobi. The participants first identified potential challenges and opportunities towards building resilience for the urban poor. Largely private sector driven development with minimal government regulation stood out as a key impediment to urban poor resilience. While acknowledging the critical role played by the private sector in service provision, participants thus advocated for government regulation of private sector service provision and the need for a balance in both government and private led development to enhance resilience of the urban poor. Secondly, they established the role of science in integrating disaster risk management in urban planning and development processes as a key contributor towards a more resilient Nairobi. By creating a shared vision of a future resilient Nairobi, this workshop was the first step in establishing a Community of Practice around Disaster Risk Reduction. Going forward, this Community of Practice will guarantee continuous contribution to the city's resilience building by either helping guide the research or as participants in the research itself.

Results and Impact	The Tomororw's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) methodology aims to reduce risk in future urban developments, using a collaborative and co-creation approach with the involvement of local stakeholders, giving voice not only to the planning authorities, municipalities, the government and the private sector, but also to the communities who will live in these future cities. A key stage in the method is the 'risk agreement' workshops which bring city stakeholders together to collectively assess the risk modelling results, including Impact Metrics. The risk agreement workshops in Istanbul brought together 36 members of the local community. The first versions of Land use plans for each community group were created based on the spatial and non-spatial aspirations and policy expectations through the Future Visioning Activity. Then, the process of how alternative vision scenarios were created by determining policy priorities, and of how land use plans were updated and how the urban texture was modelled were explained. During the round table discussions, each group was able to see the physical and social impacts of their own scenarios visually and numerically on the dashboard with the help of TCDSE computational modelling. Then, policy discussions regarding the identified risks began: Prioritising potential policy changes, discussing these modifications and their implementation challenge.

Although the number of the participants quite low, the group was representing a wider disabled community, as one of the participants was a political party's representative, Istanbul Head of Disabled Commission, and a non-governmental disabled organisation representative at the same time. Other two also had public roles in which they had access to the disabled communities, especially those in need of social assistance. Therefore, the observations, expectations, challenges and worries they reflect regarding their present and future lives as well as their surroundings in the scope of DRR was representing almost the entire disabled community.

Focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted on 21st September by Prof. Dr. Sibel Kalaycioglu. Mehmet Kalaycioglu, Emrullah Dar, Ekin Ekici and Emine Öner also attended the meeting. Emrullah Dar made a presentation about the risk and hazards of a potential earthquake in IIstanbul and answered participant questions regarding Büyükçekmece-specific projections. As per the team's requests, the group was gathered by the Municipality authorities, more specifically by the Head of Social Services Division. All the participants were university students coming from four different neighbourhoods with different socio-economic statuses. The group was smaller and the neighbourhood diversity was less than expected. Even though it may not be a representative sample, the participants were able to provide a clear picture of their social and physical environments. They contributed to the discussions to a great deal by expressing their insightful observations, expectations and worries regarding their present and future lives as well as their surroundings. With their significantly high levels of consciousness and awareness, they were able to answer all the questions elaborately. Moreover, because this group is too young, they have no experience of a strong earthquake (such as in 1999) and their disaster perception and experience is different than older groups.

Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	The future visioning exercise enabled participants to see thoroughly how desired spatial plans created by themselves would look like through the lens of disaster risk reduction policies. We organised the Future Vision workshop with seven community groups who had participated in the Focus Group Discussions having conducted since July in Büyükçekmece case study area. The aims at the visioning exercise with the community are basically to translate their future aspirations into disaster risk oriented future urban environment, to provide guidelines for translation of conceptual visions into qualitative spatial components and participatory design of future land use patterns responding to spatial needs to develop policies. The researchers have come up with a roadmap to guide the facilitators so that they could moderate the round table activities efficiently and aggregate the accurate outputs out of the discussions. Each seven table provided with multilayer maps to present the significant information about the planning area. Since the prioritised risk for the case study area is the earthquake, we used earthquake risk and physical vulnerability maps to be able to explain the participants where the risky areas are located and what are the levels of these risk factors on a spatial dimension. We also prepared a settlement catalogue with diverse density attributes to be able to collect information about what their desired urban patterns are. At the end of the process, we had the opportunity to learn how they rank disaster risks and policies as well as prioritise their assets considering the impact of these risks.

Results and Impact	The Tomorrow's Cities project in Istanbul has focussed a case study application of the Tomorrow's Cities Decision Support Environment (TCDSE) on a development area in the Marmara municipality. In January 2024 the Tomorrow's Cities team in Istanbul met withe the Marmara Municipality Union (MMU) as the regional local government (with around 200 members) to discuss if and how the TCDSE process, methodology, and/or findings may be taken up at municipality level. During this meeting: MMU made a request to the local Toomrrow's Cities team to begin capacity strengthening modules to raise awareness of the local governments on disaster risk reduction (DRR). The MMU committed to provide with the opportunity to integrate and endorse the Tomorrow's Cities project as a good practice example and include in their new strategy documents, within 6 months following the local elections. MMU confirmed that they can benefit from TCDSE in Spatial Strategy Framework Document revision. It's been offered that MMU can bring together other municipalities (BÇM and Balikesir or Bursa municipalities) for knowledge exchange in their mentor program, a kind of peer-learning exercise where municipalities that have different kinds of implementation and approaches come together and learn from each other. It's usually very productive and educating. MMU can integrate TCDSE within their training programs.
